Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Supreme Court Blocks Trump’s Tariffs: Political & Economic Ripples

[04:16–16:00, 29:13–39:31]

• Background:
  • Supreme Court blocks President Trump’s use of the emergency law to unilaterally impose sweeping tariffs, pushing the responsibility back to Congress.
  • Majority opinion, led by Roberts, stresses congressional authority over tariffs; dissents from Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh argue for broader executive powers.
• Host Analysis:
  • Damon views the decision as possibly advantageous for Republicans; it forces Congress to legislate and could lower prices, benefiting voters before midterms:
    • “If prices actually drop… I think this helps the Republicans and I think it helps them going into the midterms.” [04:07]
  • Rick argues the court missed national security implications, but concurs there are still tools the administration can use:
    • “It is a tool for national security… I think they probably got it wrong. But… there are other ways for him to do this.” [07:58]
  • Both highlight media and political hypocrisy—liberals delegitimized the Court after the student loan decision but now demand total compliance.
  • Sharp criticism for Congress “do-nothings”:
    • “None of us have any interest in what you have to say because you’re the ones… you could have passed new legislation… go do something if you don’t like it.” [13:13]
• Notable Quote:
  • Damon, on Congress:
    • “Instead of telling us what you think… why don’t you actually do something and show that you’re not completely useless?” [13:13]
• Gorsuch’s Concurring Opinion, Read on Air:
  • Emphasizes slow, deliberative lawmaking over executive impulse, calling Congress to action [29:44].

2. Trump & Kavanaugh Respond: Dissenting Voices

[34:00–39:13, 63:59–65:57]

• Trump’s Reaction (Clips Played):
  • “I’m ashamed of certain members of the Court, absolutely ashamed for not having the courage to do what’s right for our country.” [35:13]
  • “We have tariffs… in a different way. And now they’ve been confirmed by the Supreme Court.” [36:49]
  • When asked if America is “financially defenseless,” he retorts: “No, because we’re doing something in a different way…” [37:45]
  • On inviting justices to the next State of the Union: “They are invited. Barely… I couldn’t care less if they come.” [38:57]
• Kavanaugh’s Dissent:
  • Summarized as a “master class defense” of executive tariff powers. He insists Congress’s statutory language plainly allowed Trump’s action and lambastes the majority for redefining it:
    • “If Congress wanted to exclude tariffs from EEPA’s scope, why would it enact the exact statutory language… that had just been invoked to cover tariffs?”
    • Calls the majority’s approach “mak[ing] absolutely no sense.” [63:59]
• Hosts debate:
  • Damon pushes why Trump didn’t just push tariff legislation in a Republican Congress; Rick notes party division and “rhinos” as hurdles.

3. Media & Party Hypocrisy

[10:31–14:00]

• Hosts lampoon liberal/media reactions:
  • Criticize the way social and mainstream media now defend Supreme Court authority after spending years undermining it—“Check your common sense at the door when it comes to the liberals on social media and their… ownership of the media today.” [10:31]
  • Rick’s rant calls Democrats “a holes,” mocks media’s selective memory, and hopes their “flip-flopping” will haunt them in future campaigns.

4. Midterms, Messaging & Republican Strategy

[45:38–54:01]

• Alan Pfeiffer’s “Republicans Must Preach the Good News”:
  • Damon reads and discusses recommendations for the GOP: focus on economic achievements, stay on message, drop defeatism, and exploit their current financial war chest.
  • Rick predicts voters aren’t engaged yet and slams media’s “sky is falling” mentality.
  • “Don’t be stupid between now and then and things will be fine.” [52:06]

5. State Politics: Florida’s Property Tax Bill

[61:01–63:59]

• Florida House advances a property tax elimination measure (homestead tax); hosts praise DeSantis and the Florida GOP for “getting things done.”
  • “Florida continuing to set the bar for what red states should look like. And DeSantis setting the bar for what red state governor should look like.” [63:10]
• Calls for other GOP states to follow suit.

6. “Deep State” Accountability: Is Swamp Draining Happening?

[83:18–92:22]

• Article from American Greatness discussed: “A year into Trump’s Second Term: When does Accountability for the Deep State begin?”
  • Damon and Rick debate progress on rooting out entrenched bureaucracy, arresting or prosecuting “bad actors.”
  • Rick credits shrinking federal hiring as progress, but Damon wants evidence of real “deep state” targeting.
  • “We just want to see somebody held accountable—give us somebody.” [88:45]
  • Discusses public face changes (Kash Patel) and a lack of action visible to voters:
    • “I don’t know how trust is rebuilt through silence.” [90:45]
  • Article argues that every time a “good guy” makes progress, momentum is crushed before accountability can be delivered.

8. UFO & Alien Disclosure: Distraction or Truth?

[99:00–106:20]

• Rick Delgado’s Daily UFO Report:
  • Cites Senator John Fetterman calling on Trump to release “the X Files,” believing alien life likely exists.
    • “If President Trump is going to release everything, I think that’s fantastic because… the world would deserve [to know].” – Sen. Fetterman [100:31]
  • Hosts debate whether the ongoing public focus on UFOs distracts from other scandals (like Epstein).
    • Delgado: “In case of Epstein, break glass. Break the UFO glass. That’ll distract everybody.” [102:23]
  • Regular guest Harry chimes in, certain that “there are 1000% aliens.”
