ponder its origins? they were passing around that british dossier like a used-up hustler. we keep redefining collusion, so i'm going to do it too. i've been fighting it all my life of from media, academia and hollywood. you want collusion? look at climate change journalism, look at the news coverage on law enforcement, look at how conservatives are demonized across pop culture. you want with collusion? watch how academics, reporters and celebrities. you invented it! because every day there's a smoking gun x and in two days it goes up in smoke. but the press keeps overselling their product, exhausting the public. could you imagine cnn and msnbc being this intense over benghazi, fast and furious, the irs scandal, the doj scandal, loretta lynch's tarmac visit, hillary's secret server, the clinton foundation shenanigans? i could go on.

had he made any sworn testimony under oath talking about whether he had those kinds of meetings, there are those saying did he get anything of value from the foreign national. i think that right now there are many investigations underway, so we'll see. but think most people agree it's not the legal trouble he has to the worry about, it's more the public perception. greg: i think the public has accepted the perception of trump that he's an outsider, therefore, these mistakes happen. but that's another story. mark, is the media roughist? [laughter] >> i think it's more than that. i was disturbed to hear shannon say did he get something of value from a foreign national, because i didn't know that was a crime in america.

i was born and raised in idaho, as you can probably tell -- [laughter] but i do deplore this xenophobia. and it's weird to me, particularly from the open borders party like the democrats that all seven billion people on the planet are fine except for russian. do you remember when the secret service got into trouble with the cartagena hookers? they were supposed to be advancing a trip for obama, and instead they were in hotel rooms with cart hay ya hookers -- cartagena hookers, and congress passed a law forbidding secret service agents to be in their hotel rooms with foreign nationals. it's not that problem, it's a cartagena hookers problem. [laughter] greg: yes. >> it's the same thing here. of there's not a problem with a russian pop promoter or a russian lawyer. there'd be problems if they were crack intelligence agents, but so far they're just fringe,

wacky russians. musical comedy russians. greg: exactly. the fun ones. >> yeah, they're one funs -- fun ones. greg: kat, i don't know, russians are just -- we treat them as if each one is somehow a spy. and i'm married to a russian, and as far as i can tell, i don't think she's a a spy yet. >> yeah.

is the true definition of an artist is not giving a damn about what other people think. but the people that are going after you are so concerned about being part of their peer group that they threw you aside. that's what bugs me -- >> absolutely. greg: you guys are the rebels, and everybody else are the sheep. >> the interesting thing is, the good thing is that when the scale gets tipped all the way to one side, and the far left definitely has control over culture, is dominating the music business, and when that scale gets tipped all the way -- which is it is now -- you're going to see a counterculture emerge. and i think you're going to see a lot of bands like us who are just fed up. and no matter where you are on the political spectrum, they're going to stand up and say i didn't sign up for this, and this is, this has gone too far. >> it's literally just become neo-liberals versus people with common sense, you know? it's like mentally ill people versus people who have a healthy mind -- [laughter]

and see -- [cheers and applause] greg: it is interesting that it's always about freedom of expression, and the people that are supposed to be extolling freedom of expression are the ones trying to silence you. how's your record doing? >> it's been really good actually, yeah. [laughter] yeah. doing way better than it would have ever done with castle face. [laughter] you know? it's, it's pretty crazy because all these people say, oh, you know, you're so oppressive to these people who are suffering. i survive a war with my parents, and i feel like i have a pretty good perspective of what is suffering. and these people are are saying, you know, you're not allowed the to say white christmas or milk is racist -- [laughter] i mean, they've gone too far, and it's completely insane. and especially coming from bosnia having your house bombed and all these things, you know, you realize like these people have it so good, you know? greg: yeah.

>> we live in such a great country. greg: it's got to make you laugh when you hear about students on campus demanding safe spaces. you know what a safe space is because you escaped an unsafe space. >> absolutely. america is a safe space in that condition to text. but especially as a refugee, a safe space, you know, the ones that you see on campuses wouldn't have done me any good. i would have become a weakling. i didn't escape a war to become weak, i escaped a war to have a life that is good. that was an actual fascist regime -- [laughter] and everybody's calling us fascist for saying that we want criminals deported and that feminist bands are terrible, which they are. [laughter] >> you have to say at a certain point normal people have the say this has gone way out of proportion. greg: yeah. >> yeah. greg: you guys are great. matt and doris, the band's call dream machine. the new album's called the illusion. i have it, i i told everybody i

know to buy it. it's great. >> thank you. greg: best of luck and congratulations on your success. [cheers and applause] >> thank you so much. [cheers and applause] greg: all right. when we return, the best part of -- [inaudible] confirmation hearings, the cable networks didn't sh

[laughter] >> how would you respond if attorney general sessions tried

to ban all college parties? >> first, i would try to to talk him out of it, and if that failed, i would resign. [laughter] >> your integrity is impressive. you've been investigating. which is more delicious, twinkie ice cream or cupcake ice cream? are you going to continue to pursue this? >> there isn't a person on this planet who's lobbying or influence could convince me to just drop or abandon a properly predicated and meritorious investigation. >> i appreciate your persistence. >> this is one of most difficult issues facing the country -- >> no, i agree. ice cream is a big deal. >> that's absolutely true. >> rumor has it you're a fan of ma moon five. -- maroon five. is that true? [laughter] you understand that in the united states senate we find that kind of thing up acceptable. >> i understand completely what you're getting at -- >> between you and i, that might not sit well with senator hatch. [laughter] whatever happens, i wish you the best of luck, or bro. >> thank you, senator, means a

lot.
