They're not bachelors, no. But I had to do my own laundry again. My own laundry again. So this is good for the rest of the year. Very fresh. Yes. Freshly. Freshly cleaned Thursday night.
- [05:03]
Slick
Is that a bachelor's load?

- [05:13]
Damon
They just sold that company.
- [05:14]
Rick Delgado
Did they?
- [05:15]

Slick
Who was the lucky shock that went with them or they didn't. I wonder who that was.
- [05:38]
Damon
You know, I don't remember if they did get a deal. Slick. That's a good question. Wow. But it's a girl husband and wife and they just sold Poppy to. I think one of it was definitely obviously one of the big drink. I think it was Coca Cola or something. Coca, Pepsi, Pepsi Co. Maybe it was PepsiCo for three, I think three billion.

- [06:36]
Rick Delgado
So this stinks.
- [06:37]
Damon
Okay, all right. Very good. All right, lots to do. Sports news. Like I said, Vinnie Max off tonight. Harry on the highways in the building. I don't know what he's doing out there. He's doing something making a lot of noise. Aaron and Fran holding it down as uh. Let's start tonight as we do most off nights or actually most nights with tonight's first word. And just another day, another night that I have to ask you if you can believe the sheer unadulterated panic that you see from what Rush called the drive by media, the Democratic party and every never trumper still clinging to their tattered little reputations this week. Well, if you haven't noticed, they're all having full, full blown meltdowns over President Trump's new anti weaponization fund. That's $1.76 billion to help Americans who were crushed under the boot of government lawfare. And what are they calling it? An illegal slush fund? A constitutional crisis, the end of democracy as we know it. Dictator Trump strikes again. Well, let me tell you something, my friends, and you know that we're right about this. This fund is not only seemingly perfectly legal, it is long overdue, morally right, and absolutely necessary. After the 4 years of Soviet style weaponization we just lived through under Joe Biden and his deep state puppeteers. This isn't some wild eyed executive power grab cooked up overnight. No, no, no, no. This money is coming directly out of the judgment fund, that permanent indefinite account Congress itself created decades ago precisely for settling lawsuits against the United States government. Presidents from both parties have used it. Obama used it to pay off his favorite grievance groups and special interests. But suddenly, when Donald Trump settles a legitimate $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS for illegally leaking his tax returns and says, you know what? Instead of writing me a check, let's use this to compensate the victims of Biden's two tiered system of justice. Now, it's the greatest scandal, of course, since Watergate. And while these hypocrites are clutching their pearls and screaming about the appropriations clause, let's talk about Congress's own little dirty secret, shall we? And of course we know this here, but for years, these same self righteous members of Congress had their own very own taxpayer funded slush fund, quietly administered through the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights to secretly settle claims of sexual harassment, sexual assault and all kinds of deviant predatory behavior by lawmakers and by their staff. We're talking 17 to 18 million dollars of your money, hush money paid out since 1997 with non disclosure agreements and zero transparency to protect powerful politicians from the consequences of their own sleazy misconduct. They didn't call emergency sessions. Oh no, they didn't hold press conferences about the Constitution. No, they just wrote the checks and told the victims, hey, keep quiet. But when Trump uses the judgment fund to help parents labeled domestic terrorists for showing up at school board meetings, doctors who lost their licenses for telling the truth about COVID pro lifers targeted by the FBI conservative journalists. In January, six defendants who were railroaded in show trials. Now that is an outrage, folks. After what the Biden administration did. The Russia hoax. That was a lie from the very first day. Two phony impeachments, the Gestapo style raid on Mar a Lago, the lawfare indictments timed like Clockwork to interfere in the election. The targeting of Catholic traditionalists, the weaponization of the IRS against conservative groups, the censorship of Americans through Big Tech. This fund is not radical. It is remedial justice. Quite frankly, it is the government finally admitting, yes, we abused our power against half the country. The Trump team didn't have to do this. They could have easily taken the easy route and just pocketed a settlement. Instead, President Trump said, we're going to make as many victims whole as possible. Now, that's leadership, if you ask me. That's accountability. That's what real restitution looks like after the most corrupt, politicized Department of Justice in American history. So if Thom Tillis, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, they're all one in the same. And the rest of the fake news industrial complex want to cry dictator. I've got one question for all of them again. Where was your sacred concern for the appropriations clause when Congress was using secret funds to cover up sexual deviants? Where was your outrage when Obama was handing out hundreds of millions through the same exact judgment fund? Your hypocrisy is showing. Boys in the American people see it. This anti weaponization fund is exactly what the country needs right now. It's using the very tools Congress left on the books to push back against tyranny. And you know what? The talented, hard working, God fearing patriots of this country, well, they get it. They understand it. And come November of 2026 and 2028, the Democrats and their media enablers are going to get it too. Let's hope big league, right at the ballot box. Because this, my friends, is what fighting back looks like. And at least for now, it feels pretty good, doesn't it? And that's tonight's first word. All right, nine minutes past the hour. Live from Studio 6B on a Thursday night.
- [12:36]
Rick Delgado
Poof.
- [12:37]
Damon
People all up in arms about this.
- [12:39]
Rick Delgado
You know who the most. The people that are most up in arms about this, Damon, are. Are the rhinos from, from John Th's party. Yeah, he's very upset about this. Him and his friends are very upset about this. They're trying to use this to shut down the president every chance they got. I think they put themselves on vacation now for a little while longer, so they sent everybody home. Why is he so upset? Because of what you just said. You pointed out the discrepancy in, oh, let's use a slush fund to actually give it back to the American people who got victimized by their own government as opposed to the dirtbags who are committing Criminal activity at work in the government. Let's let them use a slush fund and pay off their victims so they can keep their jobs and the victims can get paid off and have to keep their mouths shut. That's the, that's why they're so upset on both sides of the aisle, because this is a direct punch into their face. And the fact that they're trying to get out there and be like, this has never been done before. Unless, of course, you're a sitting member of Congress. You guys do it all the time. I love this and I hope that more people point it out like you just did.
- [13:48]
Damon
Yeah. Paul Figli, he's a former longtime DOJ official because, you know, most of what you hear when people talk about this right away is, is it like, this is not legal? This is not legal? Well, Paul Figli, a former longtime DOJ official at the Civil Division and emeritus professor of legal rhetoric at American University, Washington College of Law, has been one of the prominent experts who has publicly stated that the anti weaponization fund appears very legal. He has written extensively on this judgment fund, the Source of the 1.776 billion, including academic articles and congressional testimony warning about its vulnerability to executive misuse for years long before the Trump case. In recent interviews and analyses in the New York Times, CBS the Conversation, he notes that the Trump DOJ's use of the judgment fund for this settlement based program fits within the broad, loosely controlled authority Congress granted the executive branch. Congress has repeatedly failed to tighten restrictions, despite some warnings. Figley described it as, quote, now this is a guy who describes it as bad policy. He's not even a fan of it and not what Congress intended. He says it creates what functions like a new compensation program without explicit appropriations or any guardrails. However, he views it as technically enabled by existing law and precedents, like Obama era settlements. He predicts future administrations of either party will probably still exploit the same loophole until Congress acts to reform the judgment fund. So again, this is a guy who's not even a huge fan of it, but he's been the biggest proponent so far of the fact that yes, it is legal. Now, it may not be set up the way he would want and in Congress may have some work to do. And you know what, if you can, if, if people want to say, well, Trump's taking advantage, well, good, okay, so what? It's there in front of him. Yeah. So if he's using it and it's legal, then he's using it and that's so be it. That's the way it just goes. Suck on that.
- [15:55]
Rick Delgado

Sports brought to you by our friend Mike Lindell. LFS6B is promo code to you, slickster. What's going on?
- [20:08]
Slick
Hey, this broke about a little over two hours ago. I know Rick hadn't even heard about it, but yeah. NASCAR icon Kyle Busch dies at the age of 41.
- [20:16]
Damon
It's got to be sepsis or some. We're going to find out that something like this happened. Like it's. It's got to be something like that. Just lost control or something.
- [20:23]
Slick
Unless I missed it in the last hour, I haven't seen anything confirmed. But I did hear something along the lines that he may have had a severe bout of pneumonia that they just couldn't clear the lungs and he couldn't overcome. But you know, well, obviously you'll get the. You'll finally find out. But NASCAR icon Kyle Busch, a two time cup series champion who won more races across the sports three national series than any other driver in. In history. I mean, this was a big deal. This guy has died at the age of 41. The racing series announced Thursday. The Busch family, Richard Childress racing and nascar issued a joint statement Thursday saying that Busch died after being hospitalized early in the day as the result of a severe illness three days before he was to compete at the Coca Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor speedway. No cause of death was given. In fact, I had a story that I had sent over to Aaron around 5 o' clock that was just talking about him missing the race, which was a big news in itself. And then I look down at my phone, I see a notification about not even a half an Hour later, the man passed away. On behalf of the Busch family, everyone at Richard Childress Racing and all nascar, we are devastated to announce the sudden and tragic passing of Kyle Busch, NASCAR said in a statement. Our entire NASCAR family is heartbroken by the loss of Kyle Busch, a future hall of Famer. Kyle was a rare talent, one who comes along once in a generation. He was fierce, he was passionate, he was immensely skilled and he cared deeply about the sport and fans. Bush, the younger brother of NASCAR hall of Famer Kurt Busch, is survived by his wife Samantha and children, Bre. The news comes 11 days after Kyle Busch radioed into his crew near the end of a Cup Series race at Watkins Glen, asking a doctor to give him a shot after he finished the race. According to the TV broadcast, Busch had been struggling with a sinus cold that was exacerbated by the intense G forces and elevated changes at the New York road course. Busch finished the race in eighth place, which is also unusual for him. Busch competed at Dover last weekend and won the Truck Series race for Childress, Richard Childress racing. He finished 17th at the NASCAR All Star race. Absolutely cannot not comprehend this news. NASCAR driver and former teammate, the great Denny Hamlin posted on social media. We just need to think of his family during this time. We love you, kb. Just absolutely devastating. Guy was in the prime of his life, 41 years old, is a tremendously young man. Okay. And to see something like that happen. But like you said, Big D, I'm sure we'll find out more news and we'll get a little bit more, a little bit more reports on that. But incredible, right? Just stunning.
- [22:48]
Damon
I mean, absolutely. Like I said, takes your breath away. When I saw it, couldn't believe it.
- [22:52]
Slick
Took my breath away.
- [22:53]
Damon
I had to look at it. It's one of those things you look at not only twice, but you actually stare at it as you're reading it and go, wait, what am I reading here? Yep, just crazy.
- [23:01]
Slick
And big game in Madison Square garden tonight. Game 2. Cleveland Cavaliers trying to come back from. Talk about a devastating loss. I mean that was just unbelievable. The collapse, that 22 point collapse they had on Tuesday night. They're trying to even this series at one and it's the best of seven right now. Cleveland is up 15, 11, but man, I tell you, no lead is safe against the Knicks, that's for sure. With about six, a little over six minutes to go in the first quarter. As soon as Brunson heats up that Garden, the roof will start lifting up and down and boy, they are going to be a tough team to beat. The Knicks, they look really good. In fact they just scored again. 15 13. So 17 13. We'll keep an eye on that. We'll keep an update and sources Thunders Williams day to day with hamstring injury talking about evening up a series. OKC came back with a nice win very close down to the end and they pulled away in the last like two minutes. But Oklahoma City star wing Jalen Williams, big player for them, will be evaluated day to day with a game time decision on his left hamstring. Sources told ESPN's Shams Sharonia on Thursday, Williams will undergo treatment and return based on how he feels recovering from the second injury to the same hamstring in under one month. Kind of like what happened with OG there on the Knicks similar situation but he got a nice 11 days rest or 10 days whatever. Many days rest and seems to have done him well because his wheels were moving the other night as well. So anyway, Big D, that's a wrap in sports. I'll get you to the hockey as well. Carolina tonight hosting the Montreal Canadiens in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals. I'll have an update. Last I checked there was no score.
- [24:27]

That is exactly right. Oh and this has gone wildly viral on and everybody's gone back to the actual Fox News feed and pulled it and this is actually what aired that's
- [25:36]
Slick
a good mask too.
- [25:37]
Rick Delgado
And well the masks these days are insane from what I hear.
- [25:42]
Damon
This is a former vice admiral by the way if you see there in the Robert Hayward.
- [25:47]
Aaron
Really.
- [25:48]
Rick Delgado
Or maybe it's not.
- [25:49]
Damon
Or maybe it's not actually have the clearest evidence yet that Delgado has been looking for at least, of course we found it. He didn't.
- [26:00]
Rick Delgado
No, I would have found it eventually.
- [26:03]
Damon
What do you think about this?
- [26:05]
Rick Delgado
I think. You know what, it goes back to a bunch of clips I've seen online. I think I've seen some of these guys talking to Joe Rogan about the. The technology behind the masks that they use these days that the CIA developed with, with help from Hollywood, where you could be talking to someone, face as close as, you know, nose to nose, and you would not realize that that person has a mask on. It is so good. The technology has gotten so good.
- [26:31]
Damon
We see.
- [26:32]
Rick Delgado
You see it with, with, with Tom Cruise in the Mission Impossible movies. But, you know, let's face it, that's called predictive programming. They get us ready for stuff like this. So, so when it actually comes out that, oh, we can actually. We do have masks like this. We do have things that can do. We do. We do have planes and technology that can do certain things. You're not that blown away by it. And people don't freak out as much. Well, because they saw it in movies.
- [26:57]
Damon
But here's. Here's a regular picture of this guy. Like here. Here's a picture of this guy from, from previous. I mean, it looks pretty. I mean, it's not like he's trying to hide who he is or what he looks like.
- [27:07]
Rick Delgado
That's not the other guy.
- [27:09]
Slick
That's not the guy.
- [27:09]
Damon
What do you mean that's not the other guy?
- [27:10]
Slick
I don't think so. Now look, look at the shape of the face.
- [27:13]
Rick Delgado
Look at everything.
- [27:14]
Slick
It looks different.
- [27:15]
Rick Delgado
It's. It looks like him, but it's not him. This is. You know what? They, they had this rumor about Joe Biden.
- [27:22]
Damon
That's him. What are you talking about?
- [27:23]
Rick Delgado
That was true about Joe Biden with the earlobes. There is no. There is a video where you see the back of his neck bunched up like it's rubber. And it's a very odd piece of video that nobody can seem to explain.
- [27:37]
Damon
I mean, just put up my feed for a second, Aaron, just one more time. Like every post is this guy. It's letting. It's legitimate. People on our side going, conspiracy theorists are on a generational run right now. What the hell is going on?
- [27:52]
Slick
Wow.
- [27:53]
Damon
Is there a legitimate reason why this guy would have worn a mask this obviously not done upright, whatever, however it's supposed to be. That's so clear.
- [28:02]
Rick Delgado
Unless it's not him.
- [28:03]
Damon
Unless we're all getting taken here and this is all fake, but could be every one of the people who posted this said they went back to the original footage of what aired. And that is it. No one has messed around with this. So. Delgado, a sliver of hope.
- [28:18]
Rick Delgado
It's really me.
- [28:47]
Damon
All right, 30 minutes past the hour. Live from Studio 6P. So the Internet is exploding with this guy I just showed you in the last segment. Sure, of course. Now, Aaron, has. She said she claims she has. So you have an inside source you're saying, Right, Aaron? Correct. Oh, okay. We will not name your source. No, we'll keep your source. Source. Yes, but your source says what now?
- [29:08]
Rick Delgado
My source thinks that it could have been something with the lighting because they've
- [29:12]
Damon
met this person before and spoken to him in person so they know that they're real.
- [29:16]
Rick Delgado
That's great. And that's his real face. Tell your source person on 60 Minutes. If you look at that 60 Minutes footage, you'll see. And you compare that neck to the neck you see on Fox. That that's not normal. That's not. That's not a shadow.
- [29:33]
Damon
Yeah.
- [29:33]
Slick
What do we think that is?
- [29:34]
Damon
Okay, now look. Here's another angle on the of. On the show that we didn't see before. Like, look at this. It doesn't look the same. Oh no. Debbie. I just got out of the pool. Wasserman Schultz.
- [29:46]
Rick Delgado
No wonder she put a mask on.
- [29:49]
Damon
But I think your source has got to get off to stop hitting the sauce. Aaron, what is. What are they talking about? Isn't hitting the sauce. That's crazy. It was. It's a shadow. Yes, Fran said the same thing. That was the first thing Fran said when we put it up on the screen. Yeah, because under light shadow from his shirt collar. The stupid under lighting they do to hide all the shadow under your chin. It's. It's causing a shadow from the multiple collars he's wearing.
- [30:15]
Rick Delgado
That doesn't make sense.
- [30:16]
Damon
Which is why it doesn't follow the movie.
- [30:17]
Rick Delgado
Because it goes thick in one spot and then it goes thin across the other.
- [30:21]
Damon
But there's also a gradation. That doesn't make sense if it's supposed to be a mask.
- [30:25]
Rick Delgado
Take a look at that.
- [30:27]
Damon
Footage is from Shtanman's TV screen, so the contrast is enhanced. It doesn't look that dark on the actual Fox broadcast. Uh huh.
- [30:37]
Slick
Wow.
- [30:37]
Damon
Okay, so Fran's saying no mask. We're getting optical illusioned here, right?
- [30:43]
Rick Delgado
Sure.
- [30:44]
Damon
That's what people see, what they want to see.
- [30:47]
Rick Delgado
And then take a look at this.
- [30:49]
Damon
I didn't want to see a Max friend. I'm the least conspiratorial person ever born in the history of the world.
- [30:54]
Slick
This is true.
- [30:55]
Damon
Delgado is the most. So we offset each other.
- [30:58]
Rick Delgado
Do a quick two different hemispheres. Do a quick X search of Biden mask, neck. Those three words. You will see the back of his neck.
- [31:07]
Slick
Yeah.
- [31:08]
Rick Delgado
Don't forget that looks like latex when he pulls at it. And it just gathers up and stays there. It's the oddest thing you've ever seen in your life.
- [31:16]
Damon
All right. What I think I'm now with friend. The more I look at it, I think we're optimal.
- [31:20]
Rick Delgado
Because you were told that you're supposed to believe and that's what.
- [31:23]
Slick
Yeah, that's what.
- [31:24]
Damon
No, just look at it.
- [31:25]
Slick
I still got it with the eye doctor.
- [31:26]
Damon
I mean, obviously it looks fishy. And my source does. Did say that it looks fishy. But they know this person, your source.
- [31:35]
Rick Delgado
Her source is like, that looks fishy. That's a quote from my source.
- [31:39]
Damon
Let's see what. Let's go to the ultimate source legitimately. All right. Patrick Ahern says, why is Fran always have to be the voice of Reese?
- [31:48]
Slick
Right. He kills everything. He kills everything with the facts.
- [31:53]
Rick Delgado
Somebody did Jack Unheard. Put a picture of both picture of him. Who is this Jack Unheard on X? He put a picture of this admiral. Two different pictures of him. It says you. You draw your own conclusion. Take a look and you will see a little different. It's a little different.
- [32:14]
Damon
All right. RD Bull brings up a good point. I want. I'm gonna go with this, friend. You're right.
- [32:18]
Slick
I think you're right.
- [32:19]
Damon
R.D. bull says, so the chins we see on Damon are all shadows. Right? Mark it down.
- [32:26]
Rick Delgado
Right.
- [32:27]
Damon
Mark it down.
- [32:28]
Slick
There you go.
- [32:29]
Damon
Jennifer Perryman says, sorry, Fran. I think that's a poor explanation. Okay.
- [32:33]
Slick
Oh,
- [32:35]
Damon
Red Dog 65 says, Dang it, Damon, Give us a heads up next time you show Debbie.
- [32:39]
Slick
That's a. Yeah, well, people just ate dinner probably too.
- [32:43]
Damon
I know.
- [32:44]
Slick
I mean, come on.
- [32:45]
Damon
Let's see. Jolene Moore says. Really not buying it. Well, I don't know. I think we're kind. I think. I think most people do not split down the middle.
- [32:56]
Slick
I think they neck and neck. Aaron. Yeah.
- [33:00]
Damon
I think the audience is. I think you're right. I think the audience is neck and neck here on this one. So. Okay, very good. It's neck and neck. We'll leave it at that. So that was. That was a weird moment there. So. All right. 34 past the hour, live from Studio 6B, let's do some headline news. Oh, should we do it here.
- [33:23]
Rick Delgado
What are you doing?
- [33:24]
Damon
Trump addresses the Cuba situation. I don't know if you guys saw the president. He addressed the entire Cuba situation. Dug out of you. Did you see this?
- [33:31]
Rick Delgado
Yes.
- [33:32]
Damon
All right. You did a little bit. Okay, well, pay attention, because this is the A plus version that you want to watch. That is the basis of tonight's Baby News Network update. Roll it, Aaron.
- [33:49]
Aaron
Buenas noches, Cuba. That's right. It's me, your favorite president. Or as you guys say it, Presidente Trump.
- [33:55]
Damon
Turn it up, friend.
- [33:56]
Aaron
Beautiful name. Sounds very powerful in Spanish. Like a telenovela villain, but with better real estate. Actually, you know what? I like you guys already. You can call me El Trumpo. Very casual, very cool. That's a privilege, by the way. I don't let everybody do that. I let, like, three countries use nicknames, and two of them lost the privilege. You know who you are now, I just got off the phone with. Actually, I didn't call anybody in Cuba because nobody in Cuba has a working phone. Very sad situation. The whole thing's a disaster. No oil, no power, no wi fi. 11 million people just sitting in the dark. That's not a country. That's a haunted house with palm trees. You're living in an escape room. Except nobody can escape because the boats don't work either. And I said to my people, what's going on with Cuba? They said, sir, they've been communists for, like, 60 years. 60 years. That's longer than all three of my marriages combined. And at least my marriages produced results. Beautiful children, tremendous genes. Meanwhile, Cuba's been married to communism for six decades, and all they got was a 57 Chevy that runs on prayer and a ration book that says good luck on every page. They call it a revolution, but I call it a going out of business sale that's lasted since 1959. Nobody's buying what they're selling, literally, because there's nothing on the shelves. You walk into a store in Havana, you know what they have? Two cans of something. Nobody knows what's in the cans. Could be beans, could be some guava paste. Could be another, smaller can. Quite frankly. I mean, it's like a nesting doll of disappointment. Now, the leadership, the Castro guys, one's dead, the other one's basically dead. And whoever's in charge now, nobody even knows his name. I said to my people, get me the leader of Cuba on the line. And they said, sir, we Googled it. And even Google didn't know. Can you believe it? They know everything. They know what I had for Breakfast. And they don't know who's running Cuba when nobody even bothers to learn your name. That's not a government. That's a group project where one guy disappeared and everyone just kept going. And by the way, I have Marco Polo. No, I'm just kidding. But I have Marco Rubio, my Secretary of State. Cuban guy. I know Marco very well, actually. Great guy, very loyal. Little short, but great guy. And I said, Marco, you're Cuban, right? He said, yes, sir, my parents. I said, perfect. You're leading the operation. This is your homecoming. Marco, very emotional. Beautiful moment. He got a little teary eyed, I think. Hard to tell. He's very stoic, very serious face. But inside, inside he's doing the salsa, I guarantee it. So we're going in, folks. We've got a Cuban in charge of the Cuba thing. That's called synergy. Very smart. Nobody thinks of this stuff but me, folks, believe me. And don't even get me started on what they're drinking down there. They have this off brand cola. I'm not going to say the name because it doesn't deserve the publicity, but apparently it tastes like. Somebody described Diet Coke to a guy who's never had Diet Coke and that guy described it to another guy and that guy made it in a bathtub. Three generations removed from greatness. Unbelievable. It's the communism of beverages. So here's my plan. The best plan. Step one, Marco goes in very quick. He speaks the language, he knows the vibe. Probably takes a lunch break. Actually, probably not. But step two, Trump Tower, Havana. Gorgeous building, right on the water. Tallest thing on the island. You'll see it from Miami, probably. Step three, we get them WI Fi so they can finally Google who's been running their country. Very important. And step four, we rename it. I'm thinking South Florida too. Or maybe Trump. Like Tampa, but better. We're in negotiations, so we'll see. The good news is the Cuban people already love America. Half of them are already in Miami. They know how to order at Publix. They know how to complain about traffic on the Palmetto. They're ready. Now all we have to do is bring Miami to them. It's called reverse migration. Nobody's ever thought of it. I thought of it just now, actually. That's how fast my brain works. Bigger, better, stronger than ever before. And to the people of Cuba sitting in the dark right now, literally. El Trumpo is coming, Marco's coming, we're all coming, quite frankly. Biggest fiesta this hemisphere has ever seen. Mojitos, music, Barbecue and fireworks. Actually, Marco's going to do the salsa. He doesn't know that yet, but I already told the dj. Okay. Dios bendigo a Cuba. God bless America and God bless you.
- [38:49]
Slick
That's a classic.
- [38:51]
Damon
Classic. There you go.
- [38:53]
Rick Delgado
That's good stuff.
- [38:54]
Damon
Like Trump, like a haunted house with
- [38:57]
Rick Delgado
palm trees, but better.
- [38:59]
Slick
I couldn't get over that one. That was great.
- [39:03]
Damon
All right, now let's do some headline news.
- [39:05]
Rick Delgado
Oh, man.
- [39:06]
Damon
Good luck following that.
- [39:07]
Rick Delgado
Yeah, good luck.
- [39:08]
Damon
What's going on, Delgado?
- [39:10]
Rick Delgado
Well, biggest news, I guess, crying across politics is the Democrat release of the 2024 election autopsy.
- [39:19]
Damon
Damon, what is this now?
- [39:20]
Rick Delgado
The election autopsy for the Democrat party for 2020. Why they basically got their asses kicked in 2024.
- [39:27]
Damon
Oh, 2024.
- [39:28]
Rick Delgado
Yeah. So it's a long delayed report that the leader of the Democrats, this guy named Martin, called a bunch cut a punch to the gut because of defeat in the 2024 race. Ricky Martin. No, Ken Martin is his name. He's publicly. Meanwhile, he, he hired the guy who put it together. It was one of his buddies. And now he's disowning his own party's 2024 election autopsy, calling it a product that doesn't meet his standards.
- [39:55]
Damon
Sure.
- [39:55]
Rick Delgado
Because it stinks. And that's the way Democrats usually do things.
- [39:58]
Damon
I mean, it should have been one page.
- [40:00]
Rick Delgado
Yeah.
- [40:01]
Damon
I mean, it could be one page.
- [40:03]
Rick Delgado
And they left out a lot of stuff. They didn't address a lot of the things CNN actually tries to take a stab at describing. What's in here. Here's cut number one. Check this out. CNN's report on that cut campaign election autopsy cut one.
- [40:17]
Damon
And the report that has been that we have published on our website is with annotations from the DNC lawyers undercutting a lot of what is in the report that said it gets into things about spending decisions and an organizing that was done by the dnc, ways to possibly improve it. But there are a lot of things in that version that are incredible complete. And also it does not touch a couple of topics that a lot of people were very interested in and thought were the reasons for this report not being out. There is nothing about Joe Biden and
- [40:49]
Slick
what happened in the debate.
- [40:49]
Damon
There is nothing about Kamala Harris getting the nomination without any kind of primary process. And also there is nothing about the, the way that voters were responding to Gaza and how the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris policies and comments about it were hitting their minds.
- [41:07]
Rick Delgado
Yeah. And they didn't ask anything about cultural issues like, you know, men and Women's bathrooms, the whole trans debate, all of that stuff they left out because, well, the truth, that would actually hurt. And they don't want to know the truth. They just want to hope to push this. Push this to the side and hope nobody remembers how badly they did.
- [41:25]
Damon
One page, three words. Your candidate sucks. That's it. That's why you lost. End of report. That's it. All right, 42 past the hour, live from Studio 6B. More sports, more news coming up. We're back right after this. All right, 13 to the hour, live from Studio 6B on a Thursday night. Glad you're in. Slick's gonna do some more sports here. Coming up, Delgado's got headlines we're gonna still get into. We've barely gotten into the headlines here.
- [43:05]
Rick Delgado
No, I've got a lot of headlines, actually.
- [43:07]
Damon
You have?
- [43:08]
Rick Delgado
Yeah.
- [43:08]
Damon
What did you do?
- [43:09]
Rick Delgado
Well, he hit the headline. Kyle Busch. You hit the headline of the. The. The fake guy on Fox. I mean, we're off. We're off.
- [43:17]
Damon
We're still trying to determine if the guy was fake, man.
- [43:19]
Rick Delgado
We're. We're. We're. We're. You just had. You just put a picture up a side by side of two pictures of the guy, and you gotta admit something. Don't look right.
- [43:28]
Damon
We're doing our research. We're doing our research. Exactly. So here. Here we go.
- [43:32]
Slick
Oh, we're on to.
- [43:33]
Damon
All right, so here's the. Here's the actual footage. This is the real appearance. So.
- [43:37]
Slick
Okay, do you want the sound on?
- [43:41]
Damon
No. Okay.
- [43:42]
Slick
No, it's not necessary.
- [43:44]
Rick Delgado
Three minutes in.
- [43:45]
Damon
By the way, this is a. This is actually a good clip because Jack Keane is starting to get concerned about what we're doing in Iran. And he says the window here to stop playing games is. Is quickly. Is quickly coming. But this is the video of.
- [44:01]
Slick
Oh, there's the water, too.
- [44:03]
Damon
The ad. And I don't know, I think Fran might be right looking at it now again, it does look like that. This just might be this. This shadow under here. Yeah, because he literally looked orange in the other clips.
- [44:18]
Rick Delgado
And you could see the little, like,
- [44:20]
Damon
marks that were on his head and his forehead. Way better there.
- [44:26]
Rick Delgado
I don't know.
- [44:29]
Damon
Okay, well, I think, Fran, you know, the shape also does match the shape of his shirt collar that's sticking out in front of him. Delgado's not gonna make it there. But I think I'm. I think I'm with you, friend. I think we all just got illusionally duped. Now that I've looked at this, which I probably should have before I even brought this stupid story up. But Delgado's upset. It seemed like it fit Delgado so.
- [44:49]
Rick Delgado
Well, you can. You can believe it if you'd like.
- [44:52]
Slick
I. I haven't seen this much rubbing necking since the sinkhole in the expressway. Man, oh, man.
- [44:57]
Damon
All right, there we go. So, all right, let's do. Let's do some sports. Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell. LFSXP is the promo code to you. Slickster's got it.
- [45:06]
Slick
What's going on, Big D? Eastern Conference final. Boy, I'll tell you. Montreal Canadiens like they were shot out of a cannon, up 4 to 1 with 455 to go in the first period. Pull the goalie. Unbelievable. Montreal and Hurricanes are big favorites too, to win. That so good. Good start for Montreal. See if they could hold on. Cavaliers and Nixon a good one, tied at 31. Cavs got up to a lead there. A couple of points here and there. Knicks have come back to even it up and 921 to go there in the second quarter. A lot of time in the Garden. Game two with the Knicks up one game to none. We got some Major League Baseball tonight. Braves over the Marlins, six three, top of the eighth. Blue Jays edging the Yankees right now, one zip. Top six. Guardians earlier today defeated the Detroit Tigers three to one in Detroit. Pirates over the Cardinals six two in St. Louis. Mets two to one over the Nets in D.C. and the Athletics take on the Angels. But you got a story about that. They may not be able to be called the Los Angeles Angels anymore because
- [46:01]
Rick Delgado
of a new one.
- [46:01]
Slick
Now you hear about that crazy. That's a 9:38 first pitch. And the Rockies taking on the Diamondbacks at 9:40. Oh, we got a little golf today, too, Big D. You got the CJ cup, the Byron Nelson. And you had Taylor Moore shot at nine under for the first round. Brooks Koepka coming in second with Jesper Svensson. They both shot an eight under. So we'll keep an eye on that. You know, whoever's winning on Thursday, I always tell you, come Sunday. And those guys are not the guys that are winning. And, boy, I don't know what this guy was doing. But the Eagles, Nolan Smith, remember him? Number one draft pick there. Arrested for speeding at 135 miles an hour. Warner, Todd, Houston and Breitbart. Police in Georgia have arrested Eagles player Nolan Smith and charged him with reckless driving at speeds of up to 135. The Twiggs County Sheriff's Department reported that officers clocksmith at 135 in a 70 mile an hour zone on the interstate just before 11pm before he was arrested on Friday a couple days ago, according to ESPN. Officials also noted that the 25 year old NFL player made bond and was released a few hours after his arrest. On May Smith 6 the defensive end was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles 30th overall in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft and after he graduated from the University of Georgia. What's with those Georgia players? A lot of them have issues with driving cars fast and getting into accidents, but just crazy stuff. So yeah, you know what, he probably thought he was under the radar, right? It happened last Friday. Here it is Tuesday, Wednesday, sure enough, somebody picked it up. But we shall see. And that's a rapid sports big D. Back to you.
- [47:31]
Damon
All right, slick. Very good. Let's do some more headlines. Rick Delgado's got it. What's going on Delgado?
- [47:35]
Rick Delgado
All right, Damon. Well, changing things up just a little bit as fraud is the serve the dish that is being served right now in Minnesota as the DOJ is charging 15 in a shocking 90 million dollar Minnesota fraud scheme, defeating our futures. Ringleader also has been sentenced to I believe it's 41 years and 41 and a half years in prison and must repay 243 million in restitution. Her name is Amy Bach. I wonder if they'll cut a deal with her and say hey, who got all this money and we'll figure out who exactly they really should be, who else they should be going after. Federal prosecutors alleged defendants in a sweeping Minnesota Medicaid fraud scream used taxpayer money intended for vulnerable adults and kids to buy luxury cars, expensive jewelry and dozens of residential properties. The allegations outlined earlier today as part of the Justice Department's broader Minnesota Medicaid fraud takedown which involved more than 90 million in alleged fraudster claims tied to multiple state funded assistance programs. And it was like an all star team that they had up at the podium to talk about this. One of which who was there along with Dr. Oz and RFK Jr. Was the assistant AG, Colin McDonald. Here's what he had to say. Announcing the charges. Cut number three. Check this out. This is cut three. Today we are announcing criminal charges against 15 defendants in Minnesota for fraud schemes that targeted over 90 million in taxpayer dollars. Let me be clear up front about something. This is not the end of our work in Minnesota. This is not the end of the beginning of our work in Minnesota. This is the beginning of our work in Minnesota. The fraud here in Minnesota is shocking Our cases today involve seven different state managed Medicaid programs that have been systematically pilfered by fraudsters who treated Minnesota run programs as their personal piggy bank. An autism program that cost the taxpayer 600,000 just six years ago skyrocketed to over 400 million.
- [49:55]
Damon
And to be sure, that number is
- [49:57]
Rick Delgado
not driven by supply and demand. It is not driven by health care or charity.
- [50:03]
Damon
It is fraud.
- [50:05]
Rick Delgado
Yeah. Some of these programs designed to help adults with disabilities and brain injuries to live independently in their own homes while the people who are being charged, some of them acquired up to 20 separate residences. They bought 20 houses. So hopefully it'll be easy to get those back, you know, from the fraudsters. Here is RFK Jr. And what he had to say about the speed at which this is happening. Cut 4.
- [50:29]
Damon
This is an extraordinary bus today because these kind of operations usually take many years, sometimes a decade. This was executed with a precision and speed that is unprecedented in the history of law enforcement. And it's unprecedented now.

As Big D. Double dizzle in the

Damon
6B brizzle live on Real America's Voice. Vizzle, baby. All right, nine o'. Clock. Was I on the screen doing that?
- [54:07]
Rick Delgado
Yes, you were.
- [54:08]
Slick
Oh my schnizzle.
- [54:09]
Rick Delgado
Who knew?
- [54:09]
Damon
Nine o', clock, hour two. Live from Studio 6B. Glad you're in on a Thursday night. Looks Harry's gonna do some more sports. Delgado's got some headlines. I got a couple things as well. Aaron and Fran holding it down as always. Vinny Mac's off tonight. We talked about Spencer Pratt last night a bunch and I saw a couple good things today. And just to kind of double down on that, he put another video out on his timeline today. Him talking to the camera about the homelessness, drug problem in LA. It's about 9, 10 minutes long, but it seems, I watched a little bit of it seems extremely, extremely good. And I saw a lot of, you know, people out there saying, you know, this guy could save Los Angeles. The only question is will Los Angeles allow him to do it? And then I saw in the Blaze today, Liz Wheeler. Spencer Pratt's anti establishment strategy is a winning one. And to the point we made last night, Pratt is doing what few politicians ever have, giving frustrated Democrats permission to vote. Republican reality TV star Spencer Pratt may be running one of the most unconventional political campaigns in recent memory. What Spencer Pratt is doing though, I don't think I've ever seen done by another politician. Wheeler explained he's removing the stigma of voting Republican for Democrats in LA who have been hurt by Democrat elected officials. This person's home was burned down and this is what he wants to do so that that never happens again. This person sees the financial corruption that's happening in the city of Los Angeles at the hands of politician and wants to give you that money. That's your money, give it back to you. This is next level political strategy that we don't see in our country. His strategy is instinct. That is not just a gut reaction. This is instinct that's based on a pre existing thorough understanding of human nature that you have to provide for people in order for them to change their minds. The ability to save face. Unlike most politicians, Pratt has also identified who the elites are and how he plans to stop them. She says he has identified the elites. Karen Bass, Nitha Rahman, Gavin Newsom. And he's identified the problem and that is that you are suffering from that was caused by these elites. And he's saying he's not running away from the fact that he's wealthy, that he's famous. He's doing the same thing that Trump's done. He's giving people who aren't just natural Republicans permission to vote for him based on the fact that he's not necessarily associating himself with the Republican brand. She says Spencer Pratt is not trying to appeal to Republicans in Los Angeles. Republicans are already going to vote for him. He's trying to appeal to Democrats and give them permission that they've never felt that they've had. And that's what we talked about last night. And again, you know, a lot of people look at what he's doing and say, you know what? Right time, right mood, right place, and it's working. Here's a little bit of what he. Pull this up, Aaron. Here's a little bit of what he put out tonight. Population in LA are hardcore illicit drug users. How many people are using illicit drugs in the homeless community? I would say it's incredibly high. 20%, 30% of the overall problem. Yeah, over 90%. Cartels are operating in the open, forcing addicts to traffic drugs and murdering them
- [57:57]
Aaron
when they don't meet their quota.
- [57:58]
Damon
Dogs are being killed by meth heads and fentanyl addicts test their drugs on these innocent animals.
- [58:05]
Slick
None of my opponents are living in this reality and all they want is more taxpayer funded housing. You cannot fix a drug problem with more housing.
- [58:14]
Damon
Spencer Pratt is exactly right. If I would have the easiest job in the world if all I had to do to treat drug addiction was put people in four walls, right, and they're cured. Oh my God, we're done here. That is an insanity. And finally somebody has the huevos to say it out loud. You cannot fix LA's drug problem with street medical teams jamming Narcan up their
- [58:37]
Slick
noses and simply propping them up to overdose again and again and again until
- [58:42]
Damon
these poor souls inevitably die in the streets. But it's even worse than that.
- [58:46]
Slick
That currently Mayor Bass and Nithya Raman are increasing the rampant drug use by
- [58:51]
Damon
using your tax dollars to hand out fentanyl needles, tourniquets and crack pipes to
- [58:57]
Slick
addicts throughout the city.
- [58:58]
Damon
Actually, the city paying. So there's just a little bit of, of the action he's taking.
- [59:03]
Rick Delgado
I mean, it's just, it's amazing.
- [59:05]
Damon
His media team is, is a. Yeah. Plus plus plus plus plus plus yeah.
- [59:11]
Rick Delgado
And the fact that all his media team has to do is show you stuff like that. They're not that there's no production value behind that. It's just, let's show them what's actually happening.
- [59:22]
Slick
It's reality.
- [59:22]
Rick Delgado
And if that, yeah. If that doesn't hit you in the face and go, maybe these people have been lying to us, then, then you're, you haven't been paying attention. Do you want me to just. Because I do have some more stuff on Spencer Pratt. Why don't I just jump to that? Yeah, because again, you know, you talk about this, this mayor's race, that's, that's, you know, picking up steam and he's getting national recognition now because of it. This coming from the California Post, Spencer Pratt reveals shocking reason he abandoned the Democrat Party. I don't know if he mentioned this. I know this was part of an interview, but during an interview Thursday night with cnn. See, now he's get. Now he's on cnn. Before, they wouldn't talk to him, now they're talking to him. He's running as an independent. Teased his response by asking, you want to break some news here? Basically talking about how he had to walk away from the Democrat Party because of the only people that supported his concealed carry rights were Republicans. And when he became famous, all the security guys are telling him, look, you need to get a gun, because there's a lot of crazy people out there. And he was facing a lot of hatred. So that was something that he revealed to the California Post. Here is. Here he is sitting down with cnn. And you know cnn, they talked to Karen Bass yesterday and here today they're talking to Spencer Pratt about the LA mayors race. Cut number 12. Check this out.
- [60:41]
Slick
Who is your political role model?
- [60:44]
Damon
Jesus Christ.
- [60:47]
Slick
Okay.
- [60:47]
Damon
I mean, that's why he was a politician.
- [60:50]
Aaron
He had, you know, he had to go in and.
- [60:53]
Damon
Are there any modern politicians that you're
- [60:55]
Aaron
especially studying or drawn to? No, I'm not a politician. I want to be a politician. I want to be a fighter for the people.
- [61:02]
Damon
But you've mentioned though, that Obama. Yeah, I'm most similar to Obama.
- [61:05]
Aaron
Okay. And I know the View lady said I don't have a law degree, so
- [61:10]
Damon
I'm going to work on that online in the next. Before November.
- [61:12]
Aaron
I can get one.
- [61:14]
Rick Delgado
Yeah. Because the ladies from the View were so influential.
- [61:18]
Slick
Politics.
- [61:18]
Damon
Yeah.
- [61:19]
Rick Delgado
You need to take their advice to.
- [61:20]
Damon
I go to. To know what I'm. Where I'm coming up short. Not so sunny Hosting.
- [61:25]
Slick
Okay.
- [61:25]
Damon
Exactly.
- [61:26]
Rick Delgado
Here is cut number three.
- [61:27]
Damon
Talk Behar while she's shaving her back.
- [61:30]
Aaron
That's a.
- [61:31]
Rick Delgado
That's a picture I can't get out of my head. Here is Spencer Pratt talking about the experience he doesn't have while exposing Bass's own inexperience at being mayor. Cut 13.
- [61:41]
Damon
You know, as mayor, you need a lot of advisors and help because it's
- [61:45]
Slick
a giant job at a giant city, and you don't have as much managerial
- [61:49]
Damon
experience of a city. And you've talked with a lot of different potential advisors who are willing to come on board with you, but don't
- [61:56]
Slick
want to say so publicly because of fears about their own safety.
- [62:00]
Damon
Is there anybody, though, that names that you can give us or the type of people that you're talking to to get a better sense of what a
- [62:07]
Slick
Pratt administration would actually look like?
- [62:09]
Damon
Well, first, let's rewind to what Mayor
- [62:11]
Aaron
Bass past experience running a city when she got elected.
- [62:15]
Damon
Right.
- [62:15]
Aaron
All she ever did was name a post office. So this idea that she came from,
- [62:20]
Slick
she had been the speaker of the Assembly.
- [62:21]
Damon
She had run the community coalition. She had been a congress member and chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. I wonder where this guy's coming from. Connects to managing. Right.
- [62:28]
Slick
She never run a city.
- [62:29]
Aaron
Thank you.
- [62:29]
Damon
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So if we're doing, like, who knows
- [62:32]
Aaron
how to yell at the LADWP for having two reservoirs empty, I am going to be better at that than she clearly is.
- [62:38]
Rick Delgado
But yeah, so, so. And he goes on to mention, you know, because last week or two weeks ago, Harvey Levin at tmz, they tried to do it like a. They tried to do a piece, a hit piece on him, and he flipped the script on him pretty well. And now it seems like Harvey Levin is back in his. Is now kind of back in his corner, into Spencer Pratt's Corner. Cut 14. Here is Spencer talking about that and the people on his team. Check this out. Cut 14.
- [63:04]
Damon
Everyone will know my team in two weeks when I become the mayor, and they won't have to fear retaliation.
- [63:09]
Aaron
So, for instance, one of these people,
- [63:11]
Damon
I don't know if you saw Harvey
- [63:12]
Slick
Levin he said he talked to somebody,
- [63:14]
Aaron
but he wouldn't say who it is.
- [63:15]
Damon
So for what was. What's his response about talking to that person?
- [63:18]
Slick
He said that that was an impressive person.
- [63:20]
Aaron
So.
- [63:20]
Rick Delgado
Yeah, so. So that's an impressive person. And if you don't remember, here is. Here's Harvey Levin from just the other day talking about this potential team player that could. That could find himself with a job under a Spencer Pratt administration in the mayor's office in Los Angeles if he wins this race. Cut 15. Check this out. From Harvey Levin.
- [63:40]
Damon
I want to say something. So I was talking to Spencer week and a half ago, and I told him, I said, look, one of my
- [63:52]
Slick
big issues with you is you have
- [63:54]
Damon
absolutely no administrative experience. There are 50,000 employees of the city
- [63:59]
Slick
of Los Angeles here, and there are 44 departments. And understanding how to run a massive organization is critical. Spencer said to me, I get it,
- [64:10]
Damon
and I don't have that experience, but
- [64:13]
Slick
I'm going to have really good, smart people underneath me.
- [64:17]
Damon
He mentioned two names, and I was asked not to mention who they were on the air or publicly. This person actually explained to me why
- [64:27]
Slick
this person's name shouldn't come out right now.
- [64:31]
Damon
The person is on board and the person is committed to actually working with him. So I will say that Spencer was being absolutely honest about it, and it is a really solid person who knows this city. And, you know, I will just say that that makes a difference.
- [64:54]
Rick Delgado
Yeah.
- [64:55]
Damon
Kim Kardashian, clearly from.
- [64:57]
Rick Delgado
From Harvey Levin. I don't know why we're listening to Harvey Levin, but I guess when you're dealing with a reality TV show who looks like he could end up winning the mayor's race in la, and this guy knows everybody. And again, I point out, about two weeks ago, TMZ tried to do a strategic hit piece on Spencer Pratt, and he flipped it right around on them and it made them look foolish. So it looks like Harvey Levin could be falling himself. He could be one of those ones that. I'm not maga, but I'm going to vote for Spencer Pratt.
- [65:30]
Damon
I mean, who could be in la? That name can't be mentioned now. What are they doing? I mean, who could it be? Who's a. Who's a California politician who's done this before, who might. Arnold. I'll be back.
- [65:46]
Aaron
I'll be back.
- [65:48]
Damon
We'll be back. All right. 13 past the hour. Live from Studio 6B. We're back right after this. Sam. Well, Salad the Blues talk to you about our friends from Birch Gold when there are supply constraints on commodities prices surge. You saw it with fuel prices when the Strait of Hormuz was blockaded. You know what else is a limited commodity? Gold. They mine it out of the ground and when it's gone, it's gone. Governments can't just print more of it. And that's why everyone from central bank to savvy savers are diversified with gold. If you've been thinking about it for years but still haven't moved some of your savings into physical gold, Birch Gold Group is the group that Real America Voice trusts to help you. Now through May 29, Birch Gold is giving a first time gold buyer a rebate of up to $10,000 on qualifying purchases. For details and a free information kit on diversifying into gold test, text the word America to the number 989898. Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401K into a tax sheltered IRA in physical gold. Text America to the number 989898 to see if you qualify for a first time gold buyer rebate of up to $10,000. Again, text America to 989-898 and do it today. All right, 18 past the hour. Live from Studio 6B. Let's do some more news. Headline news. Rick Delgado's got it. What's going on, Delgado?
- [68:18]
Rick Delgado
All right, Damon. Well, President Donald Trump is taking a big stand against the misgivings of the Biden administration as he reverses Biden era refrigeration or refrigerant rules. This coming from the White House. Delivering a win for American families and lowering the cost of living, they're calling it today as President Trump terminated the Biden administration's ridiculous regulations that imposed burdensome and costly requirements on refrigerators and air conditioners. Remember this when it came out a few years ago and everybody's like, what the hell are they doing? Well, because they wanted to get rid of everything by 2030, these regulations needlessly and substantially increase the price of transporting and storing refrigerated goods, driving up the price of food and other items that Americans buy every day. Well, the EPA finalized revisions to that 2023 technology transitions rule to extend compliance deadlines, blah, blah, blah. And here's the president talking about it. Here's cut number six as he as he proudly signs this new executive order. Cut six. Check this out.
- [69:22]
Aaron
Today is my honor to be discussing the taking of a very historic action to substantially lower costs for consumers, protect hundreds of thousands of jobs, and save Americans well over $2 billion a year by officially terminating the biden administration's ridiculous regulations imposing costly requirements on refrigerators and air conditioners. It's ridiculous, unnecessary and, and costly and actually makes the machinery worse.
- [69:57]
Rick Delgado
Yeah. Lee Zeldin, the Secretary of Energy was also on hand saying that the actions today save Americans, like The president said, $2.4 billion, basically critical relief from the crippling costs of the Biden administration that they imposed on grocery stores, businesses and ultimately American families as well. He also was of course in the White House, took some other questions and of course it dove into some other things that were going on. Here is President Trump. He's being asked about the Iran war. Of course it's going to come up every time he does end up in front of a microphone because there's one post here from Axios talking about a phone call between President Trump and Bibi Netanyahu which says Bibi's hair was on fire. According to the source on the call says that over the Iran cease fire talks, Trump reportedly called Netanyahu to inform him that mediators were working on a letter of intent to end the war and launch a month long periodization of negotiations which would include matters such as the nuclear program and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Here is President Trump when he was asked about one of the conditions that Iran keeps asking about. Cut seven. Check this out.
- [71:12]
Damon
Can they keep their highly enriched uranium?
- [71:14]
Aaron
No, no, we get the highly enriched. We will get it. We don't need it, we don't want it. We'll probably destroy it after we get it, but we're not going to let them have it.
- [71:23]
Rick Delgado
Yeah. So there is pretty much a hard line on any surface, including sand, with that. They're not going to get their nuclear bomb and they're not going to keep their nuclear dust as well. Two Israeli sources stated that the two leaders were in clear disagreement talking about Trump and Netanyahu about how to deal with Iran moving forward. One US Source briefed on the call told Axios that Bibi's hair was on fire after the call. He's always concerned and he's always trying to push for as much as he can get from President Trump. But I guess he didn't get the answers he was looking for today. So there you have it from the White House today with the president and a couple different things.
- [72:03]
Damon
There's been a lot of talk about the enriched uranium. I mean, and it's just hard to imagine any scenario and there's a lot of things floating out there. Oh, this is part of the deal is leaving it and there's just no scenario that that happens. Trump, you know, in the end, I'll go back to what I said, even though there's some things that I, you know, I do think we're in this circle and I think they look for time and time equals survival. I've said all that till I'm blue in the face. I do go back to what I kind of top level said though. In the end, I think you have to trust Trump here, that he's not going to change who he is and he's not going to change and he's not going to give on red lines. He's not going to let red lines be crossed and then do nothing. And I agree with Delgado, he's trying everything he can to not kill people and take this thing further and really have to torch the whole place, but he's not going to let them keep the enriched uranium. There's just no way.
- [73:00]
Slick
There's no point in that.
- [73:01]
Damon
Yeah, that, that is, that is absolute victory on their, on Iran's part if he was to do that. And that's just, you know, because you see a lot of. This is supposedly the deal. Well, now this is supposedly the deal. This is supposedly the deal. And I think that's to General Keane's point today on Fox. Getting seemingly has been obviously a big supporter of the President here and what he's done so far, saying, you know, let's, let's not get caught in this ever. Circle of promise. Wait, okay. Threatening. Okay, day of, right before. Okay, we're gonna wait. I've been asked to hold off. Negotiate. Negotiate. Deal on the table. No deal on the table. Threaten. Okay. Day before. You know, we talked about it. So. But that's not gonna be. There's no way he's letting them keep it. I mean, come on.
- [73:47]
Rick Delgado
Stupid.
- [73:48]
Damon
So, all right, that's all you got. 24 past the hour, live from Studio 6B. To that point, I'm not going to go through the whole thing, but there is a good article today in the American Thinker. Gas prices need to drop this summer. And this is again, to Vin's point and what you guys and kind of what Everybody Feels by J. Robert Smith writes for the Iran war to be a political plus for Republicans in the midterms, it needs to end soon enough so gas prices start dropping by the summer. President Trump knows this after 11 years in national politics. If you aren't convinced that Trump is a master politician, nothing will convince you. And he says Trump swears that gas prices will drop like a rock when the war ends and the Strait of Hormuz is open fully. The catch is when perhaps it's an oversell for Trump to claim that prices will plummet, but they need only to start declining to boost voter confidence. So, and that's the essence of the article, that we've got to see some movement and leave yourself enough time for that to matter. Come whenever, you know, I mean, Delgado doesn't think the midterms start to like Halloween, which is crazy to me.
- [75:21]
Rick Delgado
But no, it starts in August. That's when everybody starts to care.
- [75:24]
Damon
Okay. Well, even if that's true, they have to start moving for when they start to care. So, I mean, it's hard to argue with that. All right, live from Studio 6B. Couple more to go on a Thursday night. We're back right after this.
- [76:51]
Aaron
All right.
- [76:51]
Damon
Live from Studio 6B. 30 minutes past the hour. Live from Studio 6B, Real America's Voice, 1039 LI News Radio. Glad you're in on a Thursday night. Slicks doing sports. Delgado's doing Maine headlines. Vinny Max off tonight. Aaron and Fran holding it down as always. We'll get to more sports, we'll get to more news. We get an update on the Knicks Game two tonight at the Garden. But right now, please welcome back to the show, epidemiologist and Administrator at the McCullough Foundation, Nicholas Holscher is with us. Nicholas, welcome back to the show. How are you?
- [77:27]
Rick Delgado
Thanks for having me.
- [77:29]
Damon
It's always a pleasure to have you on. You know, we've heard a lot about the hantavirus continues to be in the news. Is there, what's the latest here? Is there anything that people really need to know or focus on here with this? No.
- [77:42]
Rick Delgado
The hantavirus appears to be a dead end outbreak. There's been 12 confirmed cases, actually 11 and actually deleted one case because it was a false positive. We haven't seen any new cases now in over a week. And there's zero confirmed cases in the US and zero confirmed cases and people who are not on the cruise ship. So, yeah, we believe this is going to fizzle out relatively quickly.
- [78:09]
Damon
So, I mean, all the talk you're hearing is about this new strain, the strain that's responsible for latest outbreak. So, I mean, do you believe there's anything here for, for again for the public to know about or worry about the whole is it human to human transmission, you've got a better chance of being struck by lightning? Kind of all of the highlights that we've seen and you, you think it all is Just on its way, going away to or, or what do you think?
- [78:33]
Rick Delgado
Yeah, well, particularly the Andes strain, the strain that was on this cruise ship, it was claimed it had efficient human to human transmission, but that's not true. A study came out last year or a few years ago, looked at, it's called a systematic review.
- [78:48]
Damon
They looked at 22 studies looking at
- [78:50]
Rick Delgado
the Andy strain and they found that there is no credible evidence of human to human transmission of that very strain. So in fact, even if it does get off of the ship and infects other people, which it hasn't, it's not going to transmit very easily. We should be more concerned about the rodents, you know, in your garage. When you start to sweep it out and inhaling those droppings, you'll face a much higher risk from that than from this cruise ship.
- [79:17]
Damon
Now, is this one of these things like back with COVID you know, all of a sudden it was like a new deadlier strain was coming or a new deadlier strain you had to be worried about. Is there, is there any kind of mutations in the future here that we're going to start hearing about that?
- [79:30]
Rick Delgado
No. The sequencing came out, it's basically almost identical, the slight few changes to the one in Argentina and it doesn't look like there's any laboratory related anomalies. So we believe we're in the clear
- [79:45]
Damon
for the hantavirus and kind of like Covid, it seems like some of the early reports and studies show that once again, hydroxychloroquine and maybe ivermectin as well, but specifically hydrochloroquine I know was brought up that once again, when it comes to some kind of a respiratory infection or something like this could have been effective against it. Isn't that true?
- [80:11]
Rick Delgado
Oh, yeah, most definitely. Hydroxychloroquine has shown antiviral activity as well as ivermectin against most RNA viruses. Hantavirus is an RNA virus and in fact, there's been a study looking at chloroquine against the Andi strain. It's a derivative of hydroxychloroquine and it literally protected the mice from death and it destroyed the virus in the test tube. So, yeah, we believe that that will likely at least have some antiviral effects in humans, but study is needed there as well as ivermectin given their mechanisms of action.
- [80:48]
Damon
Yeah. And so for people out there, maybe as we're heading into different seasons here throughout the year and they're hearing about hantavirus and they're Hearing about COVID and they're seeing stories out, there are folks who still want to be prepared for no matter what comes along. What do you recommend? Obviously, we talked about hydroxychloroquine. We talked about ivermectin. Is there anything else you recommend for people to be prepared?
- [81:09]
Rick Delgado
Yeah, well, honestly, the wellness company has something called the emergency contagion kit and that has both ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine in it. So that would be handy in case you go on a cruise ship. You don't want to be locked down like those people in the coming up from Argentina. The WHO locked them in their cabins while they inhaled rat excrements. So, yeah, if that happens, you know, you want to be prepared, have that on hand. But as well, there's a few other things that will show promising activity against the hantavirus and they're very obvious.
- [81:45]
Damon
Vitamin D, vitamin C and zinc.
- [81:48]
Rick Delgado
Make sure you have those stocked up.

- [82:32]
Slick
Knicks are pulling away into third. They're up by nine right now, 8:27 to go into third. They got hot all of a sudden. This is their largest lead of the game, 62 to 53 right now.
- [82:42]
Damon
Good night.
- [82:42]
Slick
Good night is over.
- [82:43]
Damon
Good night in the game. Good night in the series. Stop.
- [82:45]
Slick
Could be a sweep. Rick. Get the brooms out.
- [82:47]
Damon
Get the brooms out.
- [82:48]
Slick
Yep. And let's get to the NHL Big D on the ice tonight. Eastern conference final, game one. Canadians jumped out to a nice 41 lead, but Hurricanes have cut it in half. It's now 4:2:8, 27 to go there in the second period. So still time. I call that the dreaded two goal lead. We've seen that disappear very quickly, so we'll keep an eye on that. And speaking of California, here we go. California. Bill could force Anaheim Angels to finally drop Los Angeles name. Could you believe this, Paul Boy of Breitbart? A bill in California could finally force the Anaheim Angels to drop Los Angeles from its much maligned name due to the fact that the team does not even play in Los Angeles county, let alone the city. Prior to 2005, the Angels was simply known as the Anaheim Angels before becoming the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
- [83:35]
Rick Delgado
Stupid.
- [83:36]
Slick
Due to owner Art Moreno's desire to boost marketability in the local television market while satisfying the Anaheim stadium release in 2016, Moreno dropped Anaheim from the name entirely and simply became the Los Angeles Angels. Remember that? That was ridiculous. Despite the team playing in Orange County, a new bill introduced by California assembly member Avelino Valencia could change that. Per the New York Post, assembly member of Avelina Valencia's bill AB 2512, you writing that down. Which would require the major league franchise to go back to using the name Anaheim Angels in official documents and marketing materials. But that's only if the city gives the team special legal treatment to help sell, lease or redevelop Angel Stadium and the surrounding land. The bill sailed through the assembly this week with unanimous support, and it now goes to the State Senate. You know, they've always been the. The ugly stepchild of the LA Dodgers, obviously. Right. And even the San Francisco Giants, the poor Anaheim Angels, they've had a couple of good runs there. But anyway, that's a bill there.
- [84:31]
Rick Delgado
Important thing is they used to be known as the California.
- [84:34]
Slick
Yes.
- [84:35]
Rick Delgado
It wasn't even. Nobody even talked about Anaheim. That's way back they played. But they used to be known as the California Angels.
- [84:40]
Damon
Yeah.
- [84:40]
Slick
Back in the day, that was.
- [84:41]
Rick Delgado
That actually sounds better than Anaheim.
- [84:43]
Slick
Right. With Chet Lemon and a couple of the great players they had then. Right. Barry Bonds was on that team.
- [84:48]
Damon
Yeah.
- [84:48]
Slick
Nolan Ryan, Pitchford, him. They had a great team. And Penguins captain Sidney Crosby makes it clear that he has no plans to retire anytime soon. I call him. What do I call him? I call him Sid the Invalid. Right. But Matthew Regal, Fox News. No love lost there with me. When the Pittsburgh Penguins were eliminated from the Stanley cup playoffs, what did he
- [85:07]
Damon
do to one of your. What team is yours on the ice that you.
- [85:10]
Slick
Pittsburgh makes the island his life miserable. Man, this guy's killing us. Every time he plays the Islanders, he's made my life miserable. You know, Big D, I. I can't have any love for these teams that hurt my.
- [85:19]
Damon
Hurt me.
- [85:19]
Rick Delgado
Like the Knicks, you know, I'm with you on that one. I'm with you on Sid the Invalid.
- [85:22]
Slick
Yeah, he's old, too. You know, he's getting up there.
- [85:25]
Rick Delgado
So he's old.
- [85:25]
Slick
But hey, why is it you never turns 39? 39 in August, said the kid.
- [85:30]
Damon
39. Why is it you never turn to your teams and say, you know what? You guys suck?
- [85:35]
Slick
Well, of course I do. I naturally, I beat them.
- [85:38]
Rick Delgado
He does that all the time.
- [85:39]
Slick
I do.
- [85:39]
Rick Delgado
While he's cheering for them.
- [85:40]
Slick
Yeah, he's right. Self deprecation.
- [85:44]
Damon
Okay.
- [85:44]
Rick Delgado
He's an insufferable.
- [85:46]
Damon
Sounds to me like he's always finding blame other places other than hit. I mean, the ultimate blame, of course, is with himself for choosing these teams to beat, teams he's going to root for.
- [85:56]
Slick
I'm a lawyer. Yeah, well, that's true. You know what, rooting against teams, forget about it. Since I abused myself and. But, you know, I'll tell you, Crosby had a good year, though. It's 74 points. I mean, not bad. I'll tell you, for that 21st season at a. It's incredible. So Sid will be coming back next year with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and that's that. That's a wrap in sports. Big D. Back to you.
- [86:16]
Rick Delgado
All that to say he's coming back.
- [86:19]
Damon
All right, slick. Very good. Sports brought to you by Mike Lindell. Six code to use.
- [86:25]
Aaron
Right.
- [86:27]
Damon
So there's an article today in Fox News, and it kind of goes along. These last two stories can really go together, but this one's entitled senate Republicans are running out of time to prove that they can actually govern. Senator Tillis opposes the reconciliation bill as the GOP faces a litmus test on converting its electoral mandate into action. And I mean, the headline's enough for you to know where this thing goes. I don't even need to go through it. And what's just. What's just. It's not funny, but almost laughable. Is that the time I saw that article as I was scrolling through the news, I found what was going to be then my last article, which was, of course, that th has just decided to send everybody home.
- [87:17]
Rick Delgado
Yep.
- [87:21]
Damon
And that's so. I mean, Matt Vespa today over at town hall, Trump just got stung by Thune again. So just as I'm sitting here reading this thing about how Republicans have had this, you know, generational gift given to us in 24, and that the Senate is so inept, the Congress is so inept overall, the window is closing on showing that we can get anything done. We can't get the Save America act done when it's 82% on both sides of the aisle. Support it. We can't get that done. Thune can't get anything through. He can't. President Trump had no recess appointments thanks to this clown. He's McConnell Light and not even that light, quite Frankly. He's like McConnell duplicate so far. So as I'm reading that, I'm thinking, yeah, well, they better. I mean, I don't even know if they could prove they can. I mean, five minutes later, I see the breaking news headline, John Thune tells everybody to go home. No votes on we're just going to leave reconciliation, Just, just leave it. We'll get back to it sometime in the future.
- [88:34]
Rick Delgado
That's how you know he just won. When they just give up, when they just say we can't beat this guy. John Thune is a complete John buffoon is what he should be named.
- [88:48]
Damon
Democrats are in control when they're in control and they're in control when they're not in control.
- [88:53]
Rick Delgado
John Thune just quit. Just quit.
- [88:56]
Damon
And that's essentially, by the way, with our guy Tim Burchett said today. Did you see the video he posted when he left?
- [89:01]
Rick Delgado
No, I didn't.
- [89:02]
Damon
Burchett posted a video when they left, whatever the hell they were doing today, which was northern, basically. Yeah, basically. Essentially saying, here we are, we're the ones in power. And because the Democrats basically insist that we can't make any modifications to the reconciliation bill, even though they're not in power, essentially saying, you know, they're in power even when they're not in power and we're never in power even when we control all three because the party is so inept, the leadership is so pathetic. And this is where we're at with the part. This is where we're at. So everybody go home. Reconciliation, we'll just leave it on the table and we're just going to quit on it right now, Right.
- [89:46]
Rick Delgado
Essentially, Jonathan has just proven he is a Democrat.
- [89:51]
Damon
All right, we'll wrap it up for a Thursday night. We're back right after this. Sam. All right, 13 to the hour. Live from Studio 6B on a Thursday night Real America's Voice, 1039 LI News Radio. Glad you're all a part of the show. Let's give Delgado a chance to get through some more news, then we'll do sports one last time and wrap it up for a Thursday. Delgado, what's on the news? News radar?
- [91:09]
Rick Delgado
All right, Damon? Well, plenty on the news radar. What you'd like to talk about? Well, how about Cuba? Because Cuba has become a big story as of late, even though Iran seemed to be sucking the air out of the room.
- [91:23]
Damon
Well, we saw the President's speech on
- [91:24]
Slick
Cuba before El Trumpo, right?
- [91:26]
Rick Delgado
Well, yes, of course, Trumpo, you know,
- [91:28]
Damon
it's like Tampa, just better. Come on.
- [91:31]
Slick
It's a haunted house with palm trees.
- [91:32]
Rick Delgado
I really love, I really love what they do. Well, according to this, you may have heard about it, the US has now formally indicted Cuba's Raul Castro on murder and conspiracy charges for downing of planes in 1996. He could be going the way of El Chapo and what's his name out of Venezuela where now that he's been indicted, who knows, maybe, maybe the US swoops in and makes an arrest. Federal criminal charges against the 94 year old Castro, the brother of the late Fidel Castro, widely seen as one of Cuba's most powerful figures, marks an escalation in the Trump administration's pressure campaign against the Cuban government who has been under, you could say under attack ever since the Venezuelan president was taken away. We're talking about Maduro because Cuba relied heavily on Venezuela and of course, some of the assets they got through Venezuela from Russia and China as well. Here is President Trump when asked about Cuba earlier today. Cut number eight. Here he is, cut eight. Check this out.
- [92:35]
Aaron
Cuba, look, it's a failed country. Everybody knows that. They don't have electricity, they don't have money, they don't have really anything. They don't have food. And we're going to help them along and we're going to help them because the people, because number one, I want to help them. I don't want to on a humanitarian basis, but we have the Cuban American population, much of it living in Miami and Florida. That's a great group of people, amazing group of people, industrious, just. They're great Americans. They've wanted this to happen. They want to go back to their country, they want to help their country. I hope they're going to stay here, but they want to go back, they want to invest in their country and you know, see if they can bring it back. Other presidents have looked at this for 50, 60 years doing something and it looks like I'll be the one that does it. So, so we'd be happy to do it. We want to open it up to Cuban Americans where they can go back and help.
- [93:26]
Rick Delgado
Yeah, I think I liked his statement earlier in the show that we played. I thought it was a little more, little more robust, had more details in it. But this was a solid, just as well.
- [93:35]
Damon
Yeah.
- [93:37]
Rick Delgado
And when he talks about the Cuban people He talks about many of the Cubans that live in Miami and in Florida. Here is one woman who was asked what this means for her and what she thinks it means for the Cuban people on the ground right there in Miami. Cut number nine. Check this out.
- [93:52]
Damon
What can I say? I mean, like just my heart beating. My.
- [93:55]
Aaron
Just feeling finally I've been here since
- [93:58]
Damon
I was 2 and just feeling like it finally.
- [94:01]
Slick
Like maybe we can have, you know,
- [94:03]
Rick Delgado
be able to visit our country again
- [94:05]
Damon
where I was born and have never been able to get. Go back and just, just. I can't. Just an array of emotions so intense that I can't describe it because I
- [94:15]
Rick Delgado
think that this is it.
- [94:16]
Damon
I really do. And I know never felt this way before.
- [94:19]
Rick Delgado
Yeah. So there you have it. Very excited. Lots of great video you can catch on social media of the people celebrating it seems like the final downfall of the Castro regime there in Cuba. Marco Rubio, Secretary Rubio was asked about Cuba. Here he is with a couple comments. Cut number 10. Here's how he feels about Cuba and their country and their government. Check this out. Cut 10.
- [94:45]
Damon
Here's the problem we have. We'll engage with the Cubans. We have our ambassadors met with them recently. The CIA director was down there a few weeks ago. There's some State Department communications that occur. I just don't see a lot of. At the end of the day, they got to make a decision. Their system doesn't work. Right. Their economic system does not work. It's broken. And you can't fix it. With the current political system that's in place, they just don't comprehend how to do it.
- [95:07]
Slick
And it's a failed state.
- [95:08]
Damon
Like there are kind of. And the model they're trying to follow in Cuba doesn't resemble what anyone is doing anywhere in the world. And the things they talk about economically are cosmetic in nature. They're not real. Because that's what they've gotten used to all these years, is just buying time and waiting us out. They're not going to be able to wait us out or buy time. We're very serious. We're very focused. As I told you a moment ago, in the context of Iran, the president's preference is always a negotiated agreement that's peaceful. That's always our preference. That remains our preference with Cuba. I'm just being honest with you. The likelihood of that happening, given who we're dealing with right now, is not high.
- [95:41]
Rick Delgado
Yeah. So there you have it from Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, and if he's not future President of the United States. He's probably gonna be the president of Cuba by the time all things are said and done. Finally, here he is. When asked by a reporter, is this the United States and the Trump administration doing some nation building? Here's how he pushed back on that cut 11, 7.
- [96:02]
Damon
It's not nation building. It's. We are addressing something that's directly related to the national security of the United States. We are involved in places all over the world. You're asking me about Ebola. Important, but Ebola is in Africa. Cuba's 90 miles from our shores. So if you have a systemic meltdown in that country, which is where they're headed, so you're heading for a failed state. That's what you have now. But it's 90 miles from our shores, so we'll be impacted by the migratory crisis, by any violence and instability that happens there. It's a direct. It directly implicates the United States national interest. So the future of Cuba belongs to the people of Cuba in terms of how they're governed, what the system looks like and so forth. But the national security threat, that's 100% something we're going to focus on because that's about America.
- [96:43]
Rick Delgado
Yeah. So there he is talking about that. And finally, Damon, I got time for one more thing, if you don't mind. Here is one guy who's not running for president in 2028. Stephen A. Smith. Yep.
- [96:53]
Damon
Your favorite.
- [96:54]
Rick Delgado
Here he is talking about sanctuary city. We didn't vote for that. Check this out. Stephen A. Smith.
- [97:03]
Damon
I don't understand how sanctuary cities, honestly speaking, I got to educate myself. I don't understand how sanctuary cities are allowed in this country. I really don't. I don't get it.
- [97:12]
Slick
He's on.
- [97:12]
Damon
If there's federal laws that mandate that, that's that, you know what?
- [97:17]
Aaron
You can't cross the border illegally.
- [97:18]
Damon
There shouldn't be sanctuary city saying yes, you can. It just shouldn't be. I mean, one way or another. Pick one.
- [97:25]
Rick Delgado
Either can or you can't.
- [97:27]
Damon
But it shouldn't be. Federal government says no, but you say yes. So you get to usurp the authority of the federal government, and we're still calling ourselves a nation of laws. But which laws? It makes no sense.
- [97:38]
Slick
Usurp it.
- [97:39]
Rick Delgado
That's right.
- [97:40]
Damon
That's where I'm coming from.
- [97:42]
Slick
Andy. Andy.
- [97:44]
Damon
I live in Los Angeles. Seconds. Go ahead. Or voted once or was given the offer to vote for or against sanctuary city or state. I think it's a bunch of baloney. Yeah. I don't blame you for feeling that way because the American people should have an opportunity to vote on it. You're absolutely right. I didn't even know that was the case, Andy, until you just told me. Yeah, Andy.
- [98:13]
Slick
Andy from downtown, Big D. But don't
- [98:14]
Rick Delgado
worry, he's not running for president. As he sits in front of a picture of the Capitol Building. He's not talking about politics.
- [98:20]
Damon
That's his show on Sirius.
- [98:22]
Rick Delgado
On the potus network.
- [98:23]
Damon
Yeah. 124 POTUS networks. Straight shooter. But don't worry, he's not running Wednesdays four to six. All right, Slick, what's left in sports?
- [98:33]
Slick
Not much is left in the Garden, I'll tell you that. 81 to 65. Knicks are annihilating Cleveland. I mean, it's a combination. Cleveland is shooting absolutely horrendous, like around 30%, but the Knicks defense is just stifling. And the second chance rebounds and second chance points are just. Just incredible. Knicks look prime. Boy, I think this could. This could be their year. I'm gonna put the kibosh on them right there for you, Rick.
- [98:54]
Damon
Thank you.
- [98:54]
Slick
And let me jump in, Slick.
- [98:56]
Damon
I just want the audience to know before we end tonight, a couple of housekeeping things. We will have the winner for celebrate. What's it called? Celebrate Freedom.
- [99:06]
Slick
Marty B's.
- [99:07]
Damon
Marty B's will have the winner. Announcement of the winner tomorrow.
- [99:11]
Rick Delgado
Do we know what time on our show?
- [99:14]
Slick
Oh, oh, okay.
- [99:15]
Rick Delgado
Very nice.
- [99:16]
Damon
Okay. They will. The winner will know by then, but we'll announce it.
- [99:21]
Slick
Okay, sounds good.
- [99:22]
Damon
All right, very good. And then the last thing is, obviously we're off on Monday. So after tomorrow, we'll see you on Tuesday. So, Slickster, what's going on?
- [99:29]
Slick
All right. Montreal Canadiens continue to lead Carolina 42 at the end of two periods. That's an Eastern Conference final game one. I don't have much time, but that's it.
- [99:39]
Damon
Thanks, Slick. As always, we salute our military active and active police first responders. Gotta go when we gotta go. Thanks, Aaron. Thanks, Fran. Great job. As always. Thanks to the guys on the show. Most of all, thank you to live from Studio 6P. Audience Boys will be back tomorrow night. I'll see you on Tuesday of next week.
