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.

---

  • Damon laughs: “...that’s a wide gap, man.” [78:34]
• Hosts speculate, mock, and riff on the ever-expanding web of Epstein intrigue.

---

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.”
  • Audience banter: Many listeners in chat express belief in aliens, some call it all a distraction.

[Damon]

[Rick Delgado]

[Damon]

Okay.

[Slick Rick]

All right. I'm ready, baby.

[Rick Delgado]

I look forward to it.

[Damon]

I'm ready to cross. I'm ready to cross over. All right. So we'll see what they'll got.

[Rick Delgado]

What?

[Damon]

We'll see what Delgado's got in store on a Friday night. Well, obviously the whole day. Today I streamed the president's response to the tariff decision. I mean, if you're really, if you're really overly surprised by a tariff decision. I'm not. I don't know. I mean, I'm not really that surprised at all. As a matter of fact, I've talked about this, how I thought this decision might ironically, although it seems like a setback for Trump today, I don't know that it is much of a setback. I think they're going to have to be a little more strategic and what they're going to do going forward. But if prices actually drop, and they will in some roundabout way, I think this helps the Republicans and I think it helps them going into the midterms. I really do. And I said that a long time ago that I thought that they would probably rule against them. I would not have been surprised if it was nine nothing by the way. I was a little, little surprised. Yeah, it wouldn't have surprised me. But I did, but I did read the three dissents. Are, you can't deny the three dissents because they're three heavyweights. And usually if Thompson and Alito are, are on anything together, you have to almost defer to that position as the right one. And Kavanaugh wrote, Kavanaugh really laid the, really tried to lay the groundwork for that. Maybe this doesn't really change that much. He's a matter of fact said so and what the roadmap was for maybe going forward. But I think there's a couple things we can all keep in mind even if you're disappointed with this. And a lot of people are including the president today because he didn't, he did not sound like someone and JD Vance didn't sound like someone today who was just going to say, oh well, we'll just, you know, they sounded like this was, this was a big, they were taking a big l here. And the president, you know, I wasn't a fan when Biden did it, so I can't say I'm a fan when Trump does it of going after the Supreme Court the way he does saying all of a sudden there's outside influence and all these. But I think it's conservatives, if we're going to step back just for a second and look at this and even if you don't agree specifically with this, I think the sentiment of that the court really doesn't like executive overreach is something that we as conservatives should, should want them to, to feel that way. And, and they felt that way when it came to Biden's loan scheme, when they overturned Chevron. They felt that way as well.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, but they didn't feel that way for Obamacare.

[Damon]

Yes. And that's, that's, that's a fair point. They didn't feel that way. And John and John Roberts rewrote the law to find it as a tax, which surprisingly that, that, you know, obviously that's the whole basis of this as well is that is taxing and spending and where that, that lies. And obviously they say today it's with Congress. But I, I think it is a long term win when you think about it, for conservatives to rein in executive branch and, and, and really the story here is about Congress and to force Congress into doing the lawmaking that we elect them to Do. So I don't know. I think this, I think it's hard to see now, but I, I think this could have a silver lining. In the next eight months, the upward pressure on pricing and on imported goods goes away. And now removing them will hopefully do the opposite on that pricing. So I don't, I don't know. We'll, we'll see. What were your thoughts when you heard about it, Delgado?

[Rick Delgado]

I was surprised, but kind of not like you, because, you know, it's like, all right, well, if he can't use it for, and, you know, let's face it, it's, it is a, it is a tool for national security. You can't argue that. I mean, if it, you know, they're like, well, you know, it's, it's been going on over 50 years. Yeah, but it's not like it's 20 bucks owed over 50 years. It's been constantly growing, which was why it became a national security issue. If it had just stayed stagnant, like, at one fixed number, then you could say, okay, well, that's overreach because, well, there's really no national security threat. It's been 20 bucks for the last 50 years and hasn't changed. But that's not, that's not what we're looking at. We're looking at, it went to, it's almost 240 trillion at this point. So in that respect, I think they probably got it wrong. But, but I'm with you. In terms of, and the way I saw this and the way they were talking about it, kind of confirmed it is. There are other ways for him to do this. He just wanted to be able to do it quick, get it going and start reaping the benefits.

[Damon]

But he did that, like, in a way, like, I think there's a win here to be had if you're the administration, because everything you negotiated, the trade agreements that were compelled by the use of these tariffs, they, they, for the most part remain in place. The kind of, the coercive benefit of the tariffs have really been realized over the last year. And to the extent that they've hampered economic growth, if you believe that they're now, that's now going to evaporate. So I don't know. I think there is a win in here if the, if the, if the administration wants to take it. Trump says, you know, I was out there doing what I think is best, and we may have lost politically in court, but we would, the country wins. I was protecting US Industry. I made some great deals. They're gonna come, they're gonna sustain, we're gonna revamp how we're gonna. What other sections, just like Justice Kavanaugh said and what we do going forward. So, I mean, I don't know. I don't know that they'll take that road. They didn't sound like it today. They sounded pretty clamped down on, on, you know, blaming the court. Now, what is interesting is I see all the. Of the liberals today out there when, when SCOTUS blocked Biden, if you remember, from trying to forgive the student debt. Two trillion, I think it was.

[Rick Delgado]

Yep.

[Damon]

Which would have cost the taxpayers 2 trillion. The immediate reaction from the Democrats and the media was to what? Of course, go right after the court, try to delegitimize the court and threaten

[Rick Delgado]

violence on the court. You might remember Chuck Schumer.

[Damon]

Yeah. And today, jerky, today, what you're seeing after the Trump, after the court comes out and blocks Trump's, the IPA tariffs, the exact reaction from those same Democrats and their same media allies is to demand total compliance with the court. So the irony of the two is not lost on me either on that the reaction to the two almost exact similar situations, one was, okay, delegitimize the court. And today it's like, oh, yeah, they know exactly. This is exactly right. And you have to be in complete compliance with the court. So I mean, it's just check your common sense at the door when it comes to the liberals on social media and their, you know, ownership of the media today.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah.

[Damon]

In talking about this, and especially when

[Rick Delgado]

you think back to, to how, how angry they remember they were. They were. Whose house were they in front of? I forget they were protesting out, out front of, I think Kavanaugh's house. And nothing was done about it, which is against federal law. But meanwhile, they're the Democrats. Oh, the Supreme Court. You got to listen to them. You know, it's like, you guys, you guys suck. You should shut up, go away. You blow like the political winds that you are. And everybody sees it for what it is, except for the sycophants and the media that goes along and carries your water for you. That's about it. Most of the American people see this. They kind of remember, like, oh, these guys are kind of, they're kind of a holes for the most part. And I think it further exposes them when they get out and start saying things like they've been saying today. So I appreciate the fact that the media lets them just reverse course and pretend the last few years never happened. And now they're on this side because guess what, all that stuff will be played back to your face when you try and run for office. And I hope it deals you a blow that you won't recover from and you end up on the street and we can all laugh at you and scorn you until you disappear into the, the nether regions. But other than that, I'm fine. You're rough.

[Damon]

I think the, I hate them. I think the other big thing to take out of today, and this is why I think so many of us have so little or next to zero interest in hearing members of Congress talking today about whether they think the Supreme Court did their job right or they did their job wrong. And they have all these things to say. None of us have any interest in what you have to say because you're the ones if you don't like it, if you fall on that side that you could have passed new legislation and you still can. Now to override the court and support the President of the United States, the ball is effectively in your court. So instead of telling us what you think they did or didn't do or how they did it or how they didn't do, why don't you actually do something and show that you're not completely useless when it comes to subject matter like this and specifically this. Now in this moment, I see Mike Johnson out tweeting about, who cares? Go do something if you don't like it. So I mean to me that our anger, at least on this show for the most part, has been right there in Congress with this, with the House and the Senate, the do nothing House and Senate, and it's, and it still should be there after today because they're the biggest ones in this whole story. The President did what he thought he could do and now the court has stepped in and said, but Congress as, as again, if you, even if you don't agree, Justice Gorsuch's dissent or actually concurrence, because he was on the 6th, the last paragraph laying out why Congress's job is the way it is. And yes, it's painstakingly slow sometimes, but there's a reason the founders wanted it that way is kind of like saying, hey, Congress, hello, hello. This one's meant for you. You gotta do something. All right, live from Studio 6B 13 past the hour. Just get started on Friday night. Welcome back. News, sports, all coming up right after it.

[Damon]

when you're diagnosed with cancer, you crave a semblance of normalcy and control and

[Rick Delgado]

so work allowed me to be me.

[Damon]

So I think it's really important that companies stay flexible.

[Rick Delgado]

A lot of you asking about Harry on the highway. Harry is not on the highway. Harry is here in the studio tonight because he didn't have his. He did not have his surgery. No, because they called him. He was supposed to go at 11 and they called him at like 7 this morning saying the doctor was taking the day off to go golfing and he wasn't interested in doing any surgery today. No, he didn't say that, but he said he's canceling everything for the day

[Rick Delgado]

that it didn't want to see Harry naked.

[Damon]

So Harry's rescheduled for April now.

[Rick Delgado]

April, I guess of 2030.

[Damon]

No, not of 2030, of April. So we'll. But Harry looks good. I called him and he answered the phone. I said, oh, how you doing? He says, I'm fine. I said, well, you sound great. It must have gone well. He said, didn't you see my text this morning? I said, no.

[Slick Rick]

And I said it too. He says, oh, you didn't get the text. I guess you didn't get the text.

[Rick Delgado]

I didn't get a text.

[Damon]

He just says that to make you feel bad. I think I was the only one that got the text. Exactly. And he's like, I send it to you. No, you didn't.

[Slick Rick]

He's got a friend working, you know.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah.

[Damon]

So no, but Harry didn't. Harry didn't go, so Harry. But So he's good. To answer your question, he's fine. He's as good as he was yesterday. Yeah.

of the food backsley. David says 11am is a bad time. I totally agree. It's a terrible time. Yeah. Especially after the not eating after midnight deal.

[Slick Rick]

Do it early.

[Damon]

Terrible. I want to thank everybody who's saying that they saw me on Bowling today. Me and Vinnie Mack. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[Rick Delgado]

You were bowling.

[Damon]

Yeah, we were on Bowling today. Eric bowling show. Eric Bowling one year anniversary here on rav. So congratulations to him. He almost sounded like he couldn't believe that we're live every night.

[Slick Rick]

I can't believe it.

[Damon]

Yeah, no, we're live two hours every night. Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

You what?

[Damon]

So I don't know. He was. He almost was surprised.

[Slick Rick]

God forbid we ever tape a show. Oh, they know right away.

[Rick Delgado]

I know.

[Slick Rick]

They don't miss.

[Damon]

Well, that hasn't happened much. Many times.

[Slick Rick]

No, it hasn't.

[Damon]

Unless it was an emergency. But yeah, we are. We're live every night. Two hours, unscripted, untelepromptered, unprepared and everything. Everything else.

[Slick Rick]

So what did you discuss on the show? Anything good?

[Damon]

Well, you know, I thought. I thought we were going on to talk about Eric and his year on Rav and we were going to talk about sports or betting. Sports or Whatever he wanted to talk about. But no, he talked serious. He hit me with the Rhode island shooter deal.

[Slick Rick]

Oh, the hockey guy.

[Damon]

Yeah, the trans stuff. So we talked a little bit about that, which I wasn't really prepared for, but obviously we talked about it on the show, so I was.

[Rick Delgado]

So nothing's changed.

[Slick Rick]

The husband.

[Damon]

No different than this show.

[Rick Delgado]

Right.

[Slick Rick]

The husband being the wife's cousin. I mean, that was a curveball. Right. Nobody saw coming.

[Damon]

Yeah. So. But that was fun. I love Eric. I mean, Eric shows. I mean, come on. Eric is Eric. Because of what he's done. He's. I mean, he's just fantastic. So. And he loves sports, by the way. Slick. Yeah.

[Slick Rick]

So that's why you had me on.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah.

[Damon]

So we'll do. We'll do something maybe in the future. I want Eric to do odds makers, but he couldn't do it. Just couldn't fit it in this year because of the timing.

[Public Ad Announcer]

Plus, we do it live.

[Damon]

We do it live.

[Rick Delgado]

And he has a life.

[Damon]

Speaking of. Yeah, right. Speaking of sports, let's do some Now. Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell. LFS6P is the promo code to use if you want to shop at MyPillow.

[Slick Rick]

Well, big day in Olympic hockey. Big D. But I want to get to that in my next sports segment. Going to get a couple of stories beforehand, but wow, what a day. And we'll. We'll recap all that coming up next. But we have. NFL commissioner thought Bad Bunny halftime show was great.

[Damon]

Of course he did. What's he gonna say? It sucked?

[Slick Rick]

He says we have to expand our demographic. This is Dylan Gwynn of Breitbart. While those familiar with these pages and the over 5 million who opted to watch Turning Point, USA's counter programming will almost certainly disagree. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell thinks the Bad Bunny super bowl halftime show went great, according to the New York Post. Charles Gasparino, a media executive, spoke with Goodell after the show, says the commish was thoroughly pleased with how the show came off. Goodell thought it was great, the executive said. He said it was the right thing to do because we, the NFL, have to expand our demographic. The source who spoke continued. He said it was purely a business decision. The commission has reported. Words confirm for many the fears and suspicions widely held about the league's decision to feature the Spanish language Puerto Rican rapper on the biggest stage. The NFL can offer that the league is aggressively courting audiences beyond his traditional English speaking American fan base. They don't care about angering traditional fans because they believe you'll watch the games regardless. While there may be some truth to the idea that traditional fans tune into games, the commission's analysis maybe run into trouble with the super bowl halftime show. As demonstrated during Bad Bunny's performance, fans are more than capable of turning the big game off during halftime and watching something that values them. For most of the show on YouTube, the viewership hovered between 4 and 5 million fans at TPUSA produced a 25 minute halftime show featuring Kid Rock, Brantley, Gilbert, Lee Bryce and Gabby Barrett. The feed topped 12 million total views by the end of Super Bowl 60, Sporting News reported. An additional 3 million viewers started watching the show on TPUSC's X page, which was later taken down due to an unspecified copyright concern. While the super bowl numbers are higher, that is a significant number of eyeballs leaving the super bowl, and those numbers could grow if TP USA or other center right organizations decide to consistently offer entertainment focused on the NFL's traditional fan base during the halftime show. We talked about this with Vin a couple of weeks ago, right? We were saying that this could really be a shift in how the halftime games are presented and what happens. Obviously a big statement was made there, so pretty cool stuff. I don't know if you guys got a chance to see this Olympic gold medalist skier, but this girl is probably everything that an American young lady should be. Alyssa Liu, victim of Chinese spy operation, wins Gold for USA in Figure Skating Poor boy, a bright Bart Alyssa Liu won gold for the United States on Thursday, a triumphant achievement after being previously victimized by a Chinese spy operation. Liu took home the gold in the women's free skate final on Thursday, officially ending a 20 year medal drought for the American women in the event and a 24 year drought for the gold. Per Fox News, the last American woman to win singles figure skating medal at the Olympics was Sasha Cohen at the 2006 Turin Games. And the last American woman to win a gold medal in singles figure skating was Sarah Hughes, who pulled that accomplishment off in 2002 when the winter Games were held right here in the U.S. salt Lake City. In fact, she later she landed all her jumps and smiled three out, erupting in a demonstrate of celebration. After she finished, she yelled that's what I'm bleeping. Talking about. And holy bleep. While I'm celebrating with her team. She finished with a 226.79 score, a 15020 free skate and a score of 7659 short program. It was her season best free skate she was skating to. It was Donna Summers, MacArthur Park. And I got to tell you, this young lady, if you get a chance, we don't have the clip, but if you get a chance to watch that, I say you do. She's a great American, great young lady and really bringing up the back end of the wokeness that we had in the Olympics. It's starting to really shine now. The better, better folks at USA Ladies team as well. If I may comment. Comment were fantastic. They said singing the national anthem was the highlight. The captain said of the entire Olympics for her arm in arm with the other girls. I was so impressed with that. And that's a wrap in sports. Big D, back to you.

[Damon]

All right, slick. Very good. Sports brought to you by Mike Lindell. LFS XP is the promo code to use. Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

And that woman, Alicia Liu, her story is pretty cool because she walked away from skating and then decided a few years ago to come back. And she said she didn't even need a medal. She just wanted to be able to do this and to be able to take the gold and to see her family's background in terms of how they got out of China. And China was pressuring them pretty hard, sending spies after them because they wanted her to skate for China.

[Slick Rick]

Exactly.

[Rick Delgado]

It was a crazy story.

[Slick Rick]

Well, they got goo.

[Damon]

All right. 26 past the hour. Live from Studio 6B. We'll do some more sports headline news coming up. We'll talk more about the tariffs.

[Slick Rick]

I'll give it a go.

[Damon]

when you're diagnosed with cancer, you crave a semblance of normalcy and control.

[Rick Delgado]

And so work allowed me to be me.

[Damon]

So I think it's really important that companies stay flexible.

[Rick Delgado]

Cancer in a diagnosis can be all consuming, but it doesn't have to be.

[Damon]

Research shows there is a significant connection between the ability to continue to work and cancer recovery. We can make work a better place for healing, learn more and sign the [e-mail].

[Rick Delgado]

All right.

[Damon]

Live from Studio 6B. 30 minutes past the hour on a Friday night. Real America's Voice, 1039 LI News Radio. Glad you're in everybody. Slickster is going to do some more sports. Rick Delgado's got main headlines friend holding it down on the big board. Tony spinning the tunes tonight. Harry on the highway doing something who knows what. Well, is Harry in there, friend, or did he decide to leave and leave you guys by yourself? I haven't seen a Harry for like 30 minutes before the show started. Yeah. So who knows? Harry probably snuck out.

[Rick Delgado]

James reed on the YouTube says Harry didn't get his operation because he didn't want to miss the pizza party.

[Damon]

David, that's very possible. That could be very possible. So I want to read you the last paragraph and again, does you know, there's a lot to learn here on both sides. I know most people are disappointed, but it is fascinating to me how the court works. And when you think about the founders of the country and the Constitution and what we argue and what we believe in or supposed to believe in is conservatives. And wherever you fall on this, on this, there is still a lot of fascinating stuff on how, how this kind of works its way through this, this, this system. Here's from, from Gorsuch's close in his concurrence today. And obviously he was one of the six with the chief justice, Amy Coney Barrett and him and the three liberals joined the them. I see people say it the other way. I just firmly disagree that it's three conservatives joined with the liberals. No, I think it's the three liberals joined with the three conservatives for what most of the time we would consider a conservative position in that separation of powers and what is perceived as overreach by the executive. And if alc, God forbid, or Gavin Newsom was to ever sit in that seat, we would surely hope that the Supreme Court would do that, because there'd be a lot of overreach that would be attempted for sure. But here's Gorsuch's close today. He says, for those who think it important for the nation to impose more tariffs, I understand that today's decision will be disappointing. All I can offer them is that most major decisions affecting the rights and responsibilities of the American people, including the duty to pay taxes and tariffs, are funneled through the legislative process for a reason. Yes, legislating can be hard and take time, and yes, it can be tempting to bypass Congress when some pressing problem arises. But the deliberative nature of the legislative process was the whole point of its design. Through that process, the nation can tap the combined wisdom of the people's elected representatives, not just one faction or one man. There, deliberation tempers impulse and compromise hammers disagreements into workable solutions. And because laws must earn such broad support to survive the legislative process, they tend to endure, allowing ordinary people to plan their lives in ways they cannot when the rules shift from day to day. In all, the legislative process helps ensure each of us has a stake in the laws that govern us and in the nation's future. For some today, the weight of those virtues is apparent. For others, it may not even seem so obvious. But if history is any guide, the tables will turn and the day will come when those disappointed by today's results will appreciate the legislative process for the bulwark of liberty that it is. And I think there's a lot in there to take away, Number one, pointing his finger right at Congress and saying, this is up to you, but also saying, and this is not the first thing I saw today about this, basically saying if the president had taken maybe in the administration taken maybe a little more of a tempered and more concrete direction with these from the beginning, and not just hearing when the president would wake up and say, well, I just raised it another 10% because I didn't like the way the guy was giving interviews or something like that. I, I wonder how much that affected, as when they say allowing ordinary people to plan their lives in ways they cannot when the rules shift from day to day. That's, that's, that's looking at you, Mr. President. I believe so. I think there's a lot there to take away from that. So, anyways, we'll get you. I have a lot of other people Weigh in on this today. I'll get you some reaction from them as well. But let's do some headlines at Rick Delgado. What's going on, Delgado?

[Rick Delgado]

All right, Damon. Well, yep, you, you, you mentioned it. The, the big headline of the day was the Supreme Court blocking Trump's tariffs in a major test of the executive branch powers, forcing now Congress to, like you said, do their job. What a surprise. Supreme Court blocked the use of the emergency law on unilaterally imposing the sweeping tariffs on most U.S. trading partners, delivering a blow to the president's case centered on it one of his signature economic policies, one he characterized as life or death for the US Economy. The framers gave that power to Congress alone, notwithstanding the obvious foreign affairs implications of tariffs. Justice Roberts wrote in the majority, and whatever may be said of the other powers that implicate foreign foreign affairs, we would not expect Congress to relinquish its tariff power through vague language or without careful limits. So basically, Congress, this is your job. You should step up and do it. But of course, the president was out and about as soon as he got the news. He went right to the first open mic he could find. Here he is cut number one with his opening remarks on the tariffs being struck down by the Supreme Court. President Trump cut number one. Check this out.

[Slick Rick]

The Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing. And I'm ashamed of certain members of the Court, absolutely ashamed for not having the courage to do what's right for our country. I'd like to thank and congratulate Justices Thomas, Thomas, Alito and Kavanaugh for their strength and wisdom and love of our country, which is right now very proud of those justices. When you read the dissenting opinions, there is no way that anyone can argue against them. There's no way. Foreign countries that have been ripping us off for years are ecstatic. They're so happy and they're dancing in the streets. But they won't be dancing for long, that I can assure you.

[Rick Delgado]

So there's the president with his opening remarks. The law authorizes the president to regulate importation during a declared national emergency. So it doesn't mention the word tariffs per se, an omission that was at the heart of the hours long argument before the high court in November. But the absence of the word was the key factor in the majority's decision. And with that said, of course, here's what the president had to say going forward. Here's cut number two. And I think, I think this is, we're going to see more of this. We're going to see him use the tools that are actually in there that are going to take a little bit longer to implement. But, you know, here's what he had to say. Cut number two. Check this out.

[Slick Rick]

Just so you understand, we have tariffs. We just have them in a different way. And now they've been confirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States. So there's no longer that question out there about tariffs. And we'll be taking in hundreds of billions of dollars, and countries that have treated us badly will have to pay a price for treating us badly. And countries that have been good to us will be treated very well.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. So there you have it. He's still using the word tariffs. And I guess, in a way, I guess that's the proper word to use. It's just under the, the ieepa, those tariffs. He can't use that to throw the tariffs on. Here. Here's cut number three from President Trump. Here he is. And again, he mentions those tariffs, but in a different way. Cut number three. Check this out, sir.

[Damon]

You warned once in a social media

[Rick Delgado]

post that if the Supreme Court did

[Slick Rick]

this, shot down your tariffs, the U.S.

[Damon]

would be, quote, financially defenseless. Are we financially definitely defenseless?

[Slick Rick]

No, because we're doing something in a different way. We're doing something in a very powerful way, and we're using things that some people thought we should have used in the first place. But it's more complicated. It's a little more complicated. The process takes a little more time, but the end result is going to get us more money, and I think it's going to be great.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. So there he is talking about the other ways they're going to be able to use this stuff and continue basically the tariff policy of the Trump administration. I found that interesting, slick. And I wasn't sure if you noticed it, too, that he went with a purple tie today.

[Slick Rick]

That's the second time I saw him with a purple tie.

[Damon]

Yeah.

[Slick Rick]

Yeah. I like that. I rarely ever see him wear that.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah.

[Slick Rick]

And I did pick up on that. Yes.

[Rick Delgado]

Thank you. And last cut from the president regarding this. Here he is. He was asked by the press whether he'll be inviting the Supreme Court justices to the State of the Union, which is coming up very shortly. Here he is, President Trump. Cut number four, as always. Check this out.

[Public Ad Announcer]

Supreme Court justices who ruled against this,

[Rick Delgado]

the policy, striking it down. Are they still invited to your State

[Public Ad Announcer]

of the Union next week?

[Slick Rick]

And will you speak with them? They are invited. Barely.

[Damon]

Barely.

[Slick Rick]

Three are happily invited. No, no, they're Barely. They're barely invited. Honestly, I couldn't care less if they come. Okay.

[Damon]

But the one thing, I mean, what's funny about that is actually he's the invite because the State of the Union is a function of Congress, not of the executive branch. So he's actually the invite as well. So he doesn't really have a lot of say over whether they come or not. He's an invite as much as they're an invite.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, tell that.

[Damon]

This is a function of the House.

[Slick Rick]

You should be a White House car,

[Damon]

not a White House.

[Rick Delgado]

He's kind of taking it over. No, this is mine.

[Slick Rick]

Sit next to the reporter, you kick him in the shins. Shut up, idiot.

[Damon]

I mean, here's the thing I want. I just wonder if the people who are really upset today with the decision, who seem surprised by it. Has anyone ever thought why President Trump has felt like he can't just go right and submit a tariff bill to the Republican controlled Congress? You want to raise tariffs, why not just write a tariff bill and submit it to the currently Republican controlled Congress? Why couldn't we go that way? We could use reconciliation. I mean, we do control it, right?

[Rick Delgado]

Well, don't be silly, Damon. Powers that be controlled

[Damon]

because at least half are rhinos. Barbara Barb says on on Rumble. Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

She's on the right track.

[Damon]

Yeah. All right, what else? Dog.

[Rick Delgado]

And speaking of presidencies, he's still out there, Damon. This is day number three, Stephen A. Smith calling out Gavin Newsom again, calling out his policies and taking direct aim at the California governor during the most recent episode of his Straight Shooter podcast. Here he is challenging or calling out Newsom on his. On his policy of parental guidance and parental consent. Check this out. This is cut five.

[Damon]

You look at a guy like Gavin

[Slick Rick]

Newsom, for example, I think if he

[Damon]

shifts closer to the center, he will coast to being the Democratic nominee for the presidency of the United States. And then he goes out there a couple of weeks later and he's talking about how terrific he's in support of somebody transitioning from male to female friend being able to do so not necessarily with parental consent. What?

[Public Ad Announcer]

Let me tell you something right now.

[Damon]

Yeah, that's good enough. Yeah. We can't get the bomb. Just cut him off. I mean, if Newsom, he was going

[Rick Delgado]

to make a great point.

[Damon]

If he reads the Constitution and he moves to the center, he'll be great. Okay. Yeah, yeah. If I win the lotto, we'll all go to the sphere.

[Rick Delgado]

No, he said he'll sail to the nomination.

[Damon]

Okay. Okay.

[Rick Delgado]

He'll sell till the nomination. What he was gonna point out was, is that he's gonna have to answer for the parental parental consent stuff of transitioning kids without parental consent. He goes, if you take my kid out to the street for a walk, you need parental consent. How are you gonna get past that one? And he told me.

[Damon]

Who's he gonna have to answer to?

[Rick Delgado]

Gavin Newsom. He's going to have to answer to the voters.

[Damon]

Well, the voters support it.

[Rick Delgado]

Not across the country. That's he's not running for governor. Damon. Gavin Newsom wants to run for president.

[Damon]

President, but the people of his party support it. They support abortion on demand as well. Aren't those the votes he's interested in getting?

[Rick Delgado]

No. He's got to go to the Senate.

[Slick Rick]

Yeah, really.

[Damon]

Problem is, no one gave a sheet that I said that they gave him the sheets. But I've been saying sheets is the. Me and my son agree. The sheets is the place, man. That's the place to be. Well, my wife's a wawa. Come on, get out of here. Yeah, she loves wawas. Please. The sheets is.

[Slick Rick]

Me.

[Public Ad Announcer]

It's all up to you.

[Damon]

Well, speaking of the Republicans, I thought this was pretty good today by Alan Pfeiffer over in the American Thinker. As we get into the midterms, and of course now this adds a whole nother layer of interest onto the midterms because again, maybe I'm out there on an island by myself. I think this actually helps the Republicans and the President as we go down into the midterms because I think prices come down, I think the market goes up, things loosen up, up. I think people will. People are going to see a difference. The economy could pick up as well. The, the GDP numbers this morning were not good, not good. And then this comes out an hour or two later and it wasn't lost on me that one could definitely affect the other big time. But putting all that aside, Alan Pfeiffer says today Republicans have got to learn how to preach the good news about Trump's America. The media have done a good job of convincing Americans that things are going badly, even though the opposite is true. It's up to us to know and speak the truth. And Mr. Pfeiffer says that we can still win the midterms. Democrats want you to believe that right now there's zero possibility of holding the House and maybe even the Senate. The funny thing is Republicans have more to say than they realize in the election outcome. The Democrats strategy is quite simple. Confuse voters on the issues and provoke us into reacting. They've been immensely successful up to date and many on our side currently seem clueless about how to counter this, leading to a defeatist mentality. However, we can counter it, and powerfully too. The proof was at the recent Munich security conference and we've talked about this. I still haven't watched the whole speech, but Senator Marco Rubio said the same things that J.D. vance said a year ago. However, he did so with a different tone and received an entirely different reception. Because tone matters. If we don't reform our tone to meet today's challenges, we'll remain the same party we were when we lost to the non entity known as Joe Biden. The reality that we face is this 55 to 56% see America as on the wrong track. Right now, 52% of Americans say they are worse off than they were four years ago. Only 37% give Trump high approval numbers. Democrats are plus 5.2% on the generic congressional vote. The Democrats have a standing army that we need to counter. Heartache for Republicans, maybe, but not invincibility. We can win when we understand the issues. When the Republicans tell a better story, run better candidates, pick our races and fund them appropriately. Here's what needs to happen. Force a change in the narrative that will defeat the left's lock on the media. Most, but not all, conservatives are receiving mixed messaging, even from our own side. You can only imagine how bad it must be if you regularly get your news from the other side. Let's think about Trump's America right now. To the good A flood of economic good news Cooling inflation, record high markets, solid earnings, Continued job growth in key sectors has created a broadly positive backdrop, even as tech adjust to the unwinding of its pandemic era bubble. National crime rates are fallen during Trump's tenure, with declines in several major categories, according to federal data, a trend his supporters often highlight as evidence of strength in public safety. The Trump administration effectively shut down the escalating Minneapolis ice violence narrative, ending the damaging news cycle cycle while still allowing lower visibility enforcements. Supporters also point to a range of early term positives, from strong market performance to easing inflation. Renewed border enforcement focus a more assertive foreign policy posture as evidence that Trump's first year delivered momentum across multiple fronts. All of the above metrics, which I just told you, should be trumpeted as resounding success by the Trump administration. And yet they would all end abruptly if Trump were to lose the necessary majorities in the House and the Senate. This is the key takeaway that should be shouted from the rafters each and every day before this year's midterm elections. And here's something exceptional for the Republicans going into the midterms. Republicans are blessed this election season with the mana of politics, and that is money. Republicans have inverted the usual financial deficit with a $304 million war chest versus the Dems 137 million, which some of that is borrowed debt. Additionally, word in my circles is that Elon Musk is contemplating spending as much as $300 million in the midterm elections. And that's just him. As it's rumored, Republicans get similar participation from people like Ken Griffin, Tim Mellon, Richard and Elizabeth Uline, Jeffrey Yass, Paul Singer, Miriam Adelson that could allow Republicans to find and fund winning candidates in the midterms. Thankfully, neither Mitch McConnell nor Ronna McDaniels in charge of anything anymore. Conservatives greatest enemy is our own tendency to be overly reactive to the other side, frequently leaving us cowering in the corner or splintering into one direction or in the other. You don't see that same dynamic on the other side with the Democrats. They stay on message and their people have a coherent, often winning plan. God bless America. Republicans stay on message and find a winning plan. So basically, we need to get out there and talk about these things.

[Rick Delgado]

Well, I think part of the problem that I keep seeing, and this is just my take, is this whole, oh, we're going to lose the midterms. It's February. Nobody's thinking. Voters aren't really thinking about the midterms. The only ones thinking about the midterms are the old guards. They want to do things the way they've always done it. And what happened in 2016 proved the old guard is just that old. What happened? Everybody had, oh, well, Hillary's going to win. 98% chance. Trump has zero percent chance of winning. And what happened? What happened? We know what happened. He won against all odds. Why? Because everything changed when it comes to people making their decisions. And it has to do with social media, Social media was just getting started. Trump used that correctly and got his ass elected. Now it's even more pertinent as you see that now the mainstream media doesn't have the pull and the influence that it used to have. A lot of this is coming from social media. So that's why I think when people are out there going, oh, my God, the sky's already fallen and it's on our head. Relax, it's February. Nobody's thinking about voting in November just yet. Just don't be stupid between now and then and things will be fine. I just, I don't understand this. I get it. Because this is their business, right? The media needs something to talk about the old guard needs to, you know, pretend that they're important so they have to puff themselves up and say, well, you know, according to what I see, it's already lost. Shut up. You don't know anything. You got it wrong the last eight or nine years. Years. You're not going to get it right this year. So don't worry about it. As long as everything, as long as the economy starts going in the direction that we all think it's going to happen, I think we're going to be okay come the midterms. But that's just me.

was diagnosed, all I wanted to do was get back to work.

I wanted to get back to that trajectory that I was on prior to the cancer.

[Rick Delgado]

All right. Live from Studio 6B, Real America's Voice on a pizza Friday night. Welcome back to the program. Slick Rick has got sports. Damon is having the caffeine removed from his coffee. Yes, in the other room. So he'll be back in just a few moments. But we did run long a little bit in the last segment and we skipped sports. So let's do it right now at Slick Rick. Slick Rick Sports, brought to you by Mike Lindell's MyPillow. Go to MyPillow.com use our code LFSXB at checkout. Slick, what do you got for us? Do you have some hockey?

[Slick Rick]

Of course. That was the big news in the sports world today, of course. Team USA to battle Canada for Olympic gold after dominant performance over against Slovakia. This is Ryan Marick of Fox News. The free bird is flying high at the Milan Cortina Games. The United States men's Olympic team dominated Slovakia from start to finish on Friday, winning 62 to set up a gold medal game against their arch rival Canada. Who else, right? Who, who had Canada in the US in this one? What were the odds on that?

[Rick Delgado]

0 to 0.

[Slick Rick]

Dylan Larkin got the game, the goal got the game. Scoring started early in the game and Taj Thompson found the back of the net in the closing moments of the first to put up the Americans up two nothing. It was the second period, though, that was dominant. Jack Hughes and Jack eichel scored with 19 seconds of each other and Hughes scored again later on to make it five nothing in the third. Brady Tkachuk added another for good measure. This will be the first time the Americans will play for gold since 2010 and when they lost in overtime a heartbreaker to Canada in Vancouver that was known as the. What was that? Crosby, right, had the golden goal. That was, that was called and I'll never forget that. But NHL players have participated from in 1998-2014 and clinched a spot in the gold medal game after fighting back from a 2 nothing deficit against Finland earlier Friday. Nathan McKinnon with the goal, 36 seconds to go in the game, found the short side on this and it was just an incredible goal and this was a different, different goal there. But I got to tell you, that was some win. I just knew it. You know, I picked Finland to win. They were up to nothing. I got a text from Vin Buta and he said, slick, you might be onto something. Sure enough, next thing you know, it's 2 to 1. It's 2 to 2 and then it goes right to the wire. I thought it was going to go to ot, but they got a rough penalty there right at the end. It was a high sticking call against on Finland and that you just knew. With two seconds to go in the power play, they scored to Win the game. Just incredible. Soros was unbelievable in that for Finland. Couldn't just couldn't stop him, couldn't hold him on. USA and Canada is going to be a hell of a game. I got to tell you though, the US does not have a great track record against Canada over the years. Let's put it this way, the last time the U.S. beat Canada in the Olympics ready 1960 when they won a gold medal. They also faced off a gold in 1920, 24, 32, 52, 2002 and 2010. And the US is 5, 15 and 1 and 3 of those victor in the 1996 World cup of Hockey. So we do not have a great track record against Canada, obviously. Hockey, that is Canada, let's face it, they've got these kids on skates before they're in preschool and they're just incredible players. But we shall see. I know President Trump sure as hell would like to win. And the gold medal game will take place Sunday. It is the 46th anniversary of the Miracle on Ice this Sunday.

[Rick Delgado]

Oh, you couldn't ride it up better than that.

[Slick Rick]

That is pretty cool. And 8:10am start. Who had that time? I tell you, you talk about it. That's going to be a Bloody Mary brunch. Well, that's not even a brunch. That's going to be an early breakfast. 8:10am Big D on Sunday, that's what,

[Rick Delgado]

2 or 3pm Italy time.

[Slick Rick]

So yeah, I know, I listen. But let's face it, we're both here, you know, North America, Canada and the U.S. they'll be up early and it's going to be something.

[Damon]

I'm glad it's Canada. The gold medal has to go through. It has to be usa Canada. You're right. When I know they were the Swedes were the whatever or the Finland. Finland were the defending.

[Slick Rick]

They were the champions.

[Damon]

It's got to. It's got to be. It wouldn't offend. Felt like a real gold. If it was anyone else. It's gonna. This is the real deal.

[Slick Rick]

That's appointment television Sunday morning, no question. And I tell you, I US has got a shot. You know, Paul and I were talking, we think Canada is unbeatable. But you know what they say, that's why you play the games, right? They got a shot. And I tell you how cool would that be if the US women and the US men win the gold medal? I'll tell you, you know who's going to be real happy is your president. He is going to be thrilled to welcome them Both. And somehow I think they'll gladly show up at the White House now.

[Rick Delgado]

Definitely.

[Slick Rick]

Yeah, I can't wait for that. And that's a wrap in sports. And man, God, how much better than that.

[Damon]

All right. Very good. Sports brought to you by Mike Lindell. LFS6B is the promo code to use. Let's do some headlines. Rick Delgado's got him. What's going on? Delgado?

[Rick Delgado]

All right, Damon. Well, you guessed it. When we're talking about stuff that. Because you're always talking about red states being red and blue states being blue and. Well, here's an example of a red state being red as Florida House advances bill that will clear most home property taxes if approved. It'll take effect as soon as 2027. So if you live in Florida, great news. You've got the politicians, they're actually listening to the people and doing stuff for the people. The proposal asking voters in November to eliminate the most homestead property tax, that's cleared the House in Florida on Thursday, while the Senate has yet to advance, advance a similar measure. The Republican controlled House voted 80 to 30. Listen to that again. This is how you vote 80 to 30. Here, check this out. This is what cut is this? Cut number six when they did the vote and tallied them up in Florida, cut number six. Check this out. All members voted.

[Damon]

Have all members voted. The clerk will lock the machine and announce the vote.

[Rick Delgado]

Eighty yeas, 30 nays, Mr. Speaker, show the bill passes. There you have it, 80 to 30. That's how you get things done. The Republican controlled House voted, of course, along party lines on the proposal to of course get this put through. But it's far from a certain proposal. Lisa's version will make it to the ballot. The Senate hasn't advanced their similar property tax cut plan just yet during the regular session, which is slated to end by March 13th. Let's hope they do put that through. And on Wednesday, the Senate Appropriations Committee, Ed Hooper wouldn't put a date on the Senate releasing its proposal with little more than three weeks remaining in their regular session. So we'll have to see. We'll see if Governor DeSantis has to, you know, kind of turn the screws on some of his people there to get this done and get it over the finish line. And prior to the vote, DeSantis did post on social media that he's been working with the Senate Senate on their property tax proposals. So he's hoping that they can get it done for the people that they promised they'd do it back in November.

[Damon]

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.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah.

[Damon]

Why isn't this in every red state? I mean, every single red state. Why is this not on? I mean, and you look in places like Indiana, you can't even get the redistricting done. They got it done in Florida. They're getting this done in Florida. What's the difference? The people is the difference. Yeah. The will is the difference. The surgeon general is the difference in Florida from all the other surgeon generals in all these other red states.

[Rick Delgado]

The attorney general.

[Damon]

Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

Big difference.

[Damon]

Florida always on the move.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. Leading the way. So let's hope more states pick up the baton and continue down that road. It'll be interesting to see what, what comes of this in terms of who else is going to relocate to Florida.

[Damon]

So let's take a second here to look at the other side of the, of today's decision. We've looked at a lot of the concurrence, but how about the. The other side? Brianna Lyman today has the four best lines from Justice Kavanaugh's master class defense of Trump's tariff power. She says The Supreme Court ruled 6, 3 that President Trump's tariffs under an emergency act are unlawful. Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that does not make much sense in his dissent. Kavanaugh dissenting along. Justice Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito tore into the ruling. And here's just some of the highlights from the dissent. The first section is he says the answer is clearly yes to whether the President has the power to do this. Kavanaugh argued that IPA gives Trump broad authority to regulate international economic transactions during declared national emergencies, including the importation of foreign goods. And he pointed out, and he said, quote, the sole legal question here is whether under eapa, tariffs are a means to regulate importation. Statutory text, history and precedent demonstrate that the answer is clearly yes. Like quotas and embargoes, tariffs are a traditional and common tool to regulate importation. But it apparently was not clear to the majority. Part two. Kavanaugh referenced historical precedent to back up his opinion, noting that President Richard Nixon imposed a 10% tariff on most foreign imports in 1971 under the Trading with the Enemy act, which authorized the President to regulate importation. Exact wording such tariffs were upheld under that framing, which is the same language that is found in EPA. In creating EPA, as Kavanaugh wrote, Congress divided TWEA, I.e. the Trading with the Enemies act, again, into two separate statutes, though Congress retained that Same regulate importation language in both laws in TWA for wartime and EAPA for peacetime national emergencies. In doing so, members of Congress were plainly aware, after all, how could they not be, that the regulate importation language had recently been invoked by the President and interpreted by the courts to encompass tariffs. Kavanaugh says, quote, if Congress wanted to exclude tariffs from EEPA's scope, why would it enact the exact statutory language from TWEA that had just been invoked by the President and interpreted by the courts to cover tariffs? Neither the plaintiffs nor the court today offers a good answer to that question. Understandably so, because there is no good answer. Kavanaugh also noted that one year before EPA was enacted, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that a similarly worded statute authorizing the President to adjust the imports permitted President Ford to impose monetary exactions on foreign oil imports. Kavanaugh also accused the six part majority today of trying to dodge the force of Nixon tariffs by observing that one appeals court interpretation of regulate importation to uphold Nixon's tariffs does not suffice to describe that interpretation as well settled when EAPA was enacted in 1977. But that is not the right question, Kavanaugh said today in his dissent. The question is what members of Congress and the public would have understood regulate importation to mean when Congress enacted it, I. E. But in 1977. 7. Any citizens or members of Congress in 1977 who somehow thought that the regulate importation language excluded tariffs would have had their, quote, heads in the sand. Kavanaugh said today. So, and again you can, I mean Kavanaugh's. Kavanaugh's dissent is just, is just a rip roaring takedown of, of the reasoning of the six. And he basically says their approach makes absolutely no sense. Kavanaugh's was much more fiery than actually Thomas's was today because I rent to Thomas's thinking that would be the one to read. But it actually, it was pretty tame for, for, for Thomas and what we've seen from him recently in the last couple years. But Kavanaugh today was. Kavanaugh's was really the one to read if you're, if you fall on that side. So that's a little bit of some of the main parts of it. All right, live from Studio 6P13 past the hour. More sports news coming up on a Friday night. Real America's voice. 1039 LI News Radio. We're back right after this.

[Rick Delgado]

Oh, my goodness. I don't think there's enough on a Friday night.

[Damon]

Yeah, I'm not doing another four days in a row here. Let's get back to headlines with Delgado. What's going on?

[Rick Delgado]

All right, Damon, one of your favorite stories I Can't Let Go show without mentioning the disgraced financier known as Jeffrey Epstein. This story caught my attention the other day. I finally got a chance to get to it. It's called the Accomplice who is Going to testify against Jeffrey Epstein and then went dark. You could say that's because he died. Jean Locke Brunel was ready to turn on the man who had been his patron and partner. The French modeling scout was prepared to tell prosecutors what he knew about Jeffrey Epstein and his sex trafficking. He was secretly negotiating in 2016 with lawyers representing the Epstein victims. According to newly released DOJ files, Brunel's lawyer told him that his client recruited girls for Epstein and had incriminating photographs. They discussed a date for him to walk into the U.S. attorney's office. One of Epstein's Bf's, Jean Luc Brunel, helped him get those girls and Brunel was afraid of being prosecuted, so he was going to turn state's evidence. Epstein discovered these negotiations with Brunel on May 3, fired off an email to his buddy, Kathleen Rummler, Obama's attorney, who again is involved. And according to this, Brunel didn't show up. All of a sudden, he didn't show up. They couldn't find him. He disappeared for a bit. And then Rummeler responded later to give him a call, to give her a call later. They had things to discuss. So again, another shady thing coming out of the documents that have just been released about this Jean Luc Brunel, who was one of Jeffrey Epstein's partners in all this crap, he was ready to turn him in. And not only does he go quiet, then he gets arrested a few years later and ends up dead in prison. Boy, where have we heard that before? But this story doesn't end there, Damon, because another big guy, this guy you might know of pretty well Bill Gates. And again, when you, when you talk about, yeah, these guys haven't been prosecuted yet, but it's hurting them and I want to see all these scumbags hurt. Bill Gates, one of the leading ones as he cancels an AI Summit keynote address amid fresh scrutiny over the Epstein links. He was supposed to talk at this big AI Summit, but he is now not going to do that. CNN reached out to the Gates foundation, the Gates foundation in India and the summit organizers for comment. They provided no reason for his abrupt withdrawal. But here is cut number seven for the report on the Gates cancellation. Cut number seven, Check this out.

[Slick Rick]

Bill Gates pulled out of India's AI Impact Summit on Thursday hours before he was scheduled to deliver a keynote address. The Gates cancellation comes after the US

[Public Ad Announcer]

Department of Justice released emails last month,

[Slick Rick]

including communication between the late financier and

[Damon]

convicted sex offenders defender Jeffrey Epstein and the Gates foundation staff. Gates Foundation India said in a post

[Slick Rick]

on X that the decision was to

[Damon]

ensure the focus remains on the AI Summit's key priorities.

[Slick Rick]

The documents indicate Gates and Epstein met

[Damon]

repeatedly after Epstein's prison term to discuss

[Slick Rick]

expanding Gates philanthropic efforts.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, so there you have it. He's no longer going to be over there doing that because he's probably not welcomed. They didn't want him around. He's too much of a problem now. He's too much of a scourge of society. Let's hope that continues to happen and nobody wants this guy around. The files contain numerous emails between Epstein and Gates showing them coordinating meetings discussing Gates work and all the documented interaction with Gates occurred after his 2008 conviction on prostitution related charges, which again, and even those charges from 2008. How can a minor be a prostitute? I don't know, but that's what they were. Let him, let him, let him have on his way out the door. Last one on this one, Damon, this one is interesting. Is actress Mia Farrow suggests that President Trump killed or freed Ghislaine Maxwell and swapped her body out with a body double.

[Slick Rick]

Hearing that too.

[Rick Delgado]

Did you hear this one? She's off the loony left funny farm there. The actress took to the leftist echo chamber social media blue sky to bizarrely suggest that President Trump killed or freed Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, and swapped her body out for a body double. She says the nose is different. Focusing on photos of Maxwell, which I've seen too. Have you seen these photos of her testifying recently as opposed to the photos when she first went in?

[Slick Rick]

Definitely looks different.

[Damon]

Take a wild guess.

[Rick Delgado]

I'm gonna say no, you haven't seen those? I don't think so.

[Slick Rick]

Unless he was in the supermarket passing the Enquirer, he didn't see any photos.

[Rick Delgado]

So you didn't see the.

[Damon]

I mean, there seems to be a gap between set free or what were the two choices?

[Rick Delgado]

Killed and replaced with a body double or set free.

[Damon]

Well, that's a wide gap, man.

[Rick Delgado]

Well, we're talking about Mia Farrow here.

[Damon]

That's a wide gap too.

[Rick Delgado]

Farrow regularly takes on the progressive blue sky platform to expound her extremist left wing ideas and constantly attacks President Trump. Last year, the actress raged over a drug boat strike that killed 1111 Treden Diagua terrorists en route to the U.S. she also spread conspiracy theories about the Trump deportation of gang bangers to El Salvador. And she also dropped the theory about the survivability of democracy in America, saying she wouldn't be surprised if the US made it another six months or maybe even three or four months and that democracy would be totally gone here in the United States. So there you have it from, From Mia Farrow. Damon, she's, she's piping it on the fc.

[Damon]

Do I dare ask where you fall on Mia Farrow's claims? Delgado, you're right there with her.

[Slick Rick]

Oh, he's there.

[Damon]

Yeah, of course he is.

[Rick Delgado]

I wouldn't say.

[Damon]

Why are you framing her to be a whack?

[Rick Delgado]

Well, I'm not, I'm not saying I'm with Mia Farrow on this. I'm just acknowledging as per the photos, which you can find everywhere. The nose does look particular. Yeah, it looks particularly different night. It does look particularly different. Pretty obvious sign, but I don't know if she's been swapped out. Maybe she had some facial reconstruction surgery going on behind prison bars because, you know, rich people get that done.

[Slick Rick]

Damon's more interested in Maxwell decaf.

[Damon]

I would have thought Mir Farrow was the one who was dead of all. Gave me the choice of an abc. Which one of these people is not alive right now? Now, I would have picked her.

[Rick Delgado]

Well, if anybody needs a decaf, it's Mia Farrow.

[Damon]

Okay. I guess she's still alive.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, she's still alive.

[Damon]

Not really following her career.

[Slick Rick]

May not be, but.

[Damon]

Right. Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

Okay, there you have it. So.

[Slick Rick]

Wow.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. Oh, and she also said that President Trump is going to outlaw Future elections.

[Damon]

Okay. 26 past the hour live from Studio 6. Be more sports and more of. Of that coming up. We get back right after this.

[Rick Delgado]

No, I'm, I'm Done with Epstein done for the year till Monday.

need to be healthy every day to survive it and go through the next chemo round and the next chemo round. So it's important that work was part of that to keep my mind busy for eight, nine hours and then I had to go back and face the reality. I had a goal and the goal is to survive.

All right, 30 minutes past the hour. Hour two live from Studio 6B

[Slick Rick]

on

[Damon]

to Real America's Voice, 1039 LI News Radio. Jeff Dornick today in the American Greatness has a piece if you want to check it out because I know this is one of the things we talk about a lot. We were just talking about this week, Delgado, you specifically what I say? Well it's entitled A year into Trump's Second Term. When does Accountability for the deep state beginning again. Yeah,

[Rick Delgado]

need to see some arrests.

[Damon]

A a pertinent question. Yeah. On a lot of the minds of a lot of people. Washington promised reform. Yet one year into President Trump's second term, executive orders abound while arrests, prosecution and structural change remain conspicuously absent. That's the basis of this article. And we've been talking about these grand juries. And Vin was talking about, I think, last night about John Solomon and continuing to hear as he goes on these shows and says, I believe that this is what's worth coming. And we all hope that that's true. The grand conspiracy, the, the, the juries that are being impaneled, the grand juries impaneled, we think in Florida and maybe some other places. But in essence, people are, you know, again, as we head into the year of a midterms where we're always as the party in power climbing an uphill battle, a lot of what you're seeing in the polling from the polling people, Richard Barris and others online every day is that if they want to turn this around and again, this is their opinion and the data that they're collecting, I don't know, like Delgado said, he doesn't think people are ever worried about them in terms of, I disagree, but I mean, it could be right. But what you see from people like Richard Barris and others who are out there polling people and they're saying, you know, if you want to turn it around, the way to do it is to convince people as you as they were convinced when they voted that this time was going to be different, that a second Trump administration was not going to repeat the mistakes of the first, that the hard lessons had been learned and that the deep state would finally be confronted rather than tolerated. And I think as of right now, none of those things in most people's minds, starting at the Department of Justice and the attorney general, who I've been more of a fan of and had a longer leash than I think everybody else on this show with. I don't think anybody could answer in the affirmative to any of those right now that this second term has not been any different when it comes to that. We have not really drained the swamp and we haven't seen any of those things that we were told would be different. We see the Bongino story in and now back out. People are not happy about that, you know, and what was the real reasoning there? So, so same questions and unfortunately, you know, kind of the same story. What do you think?

[Rick Delgado]

I think it is totally different. And here's why I say that, because we have seen a culling of the federal government where the federal government accounts for, like, no hiring right now, which is great to see. Under the Biden administration, that was the only job creation that was happening in the country. So in that respect, that's a Big part of the swamp. Because they only bring in people who will. Will, you know, basically fall in line with the liberal narrative. And in that respect, I think they've done a great job making sure it doesn't grow even more and cutting out a lot of the people that were in there.

[Damon]

Yeah, but that's a little different than what we're talking about here. We're talking about rooting out the deep state.

[Rick Delgado]

Right, but you were talking about draining the swamp. I started on the draining the swamp.

[Damon]

Okay. Yeah. But now I'm getting that FISA's gonna get reauthorized 702. I thought we were all against that. Right now, all of a sudden, Republicans quietly behind the. Behind closed doors are talking about reauthorizing that again. So I think it's those things that I'm talking about.

[Rick Delgado]

I haven't even seen that.

[Damon]

But in terms of. Tweeted about that yesterday, but in terms of.

[Rick Delgado]

I don't check your tweets, but in terms of the. The big. The big fish, I, you know, I'll defer to a guy like John Solomon, who's got his finger on the pulse of everything going on down there in Washington. He's usually playing pretty. Pretty spot on when he reports on things. And if this is what he's hearing and he has talked about,

[Damon]

and we've

[Rick Delgado]

seen it also written that, that it's very tough for them to find the right attorneys to prosecute these things, because, let's face it, some of these attorneys don't want these jobs. So that's part of the. Part of what hamstrings the Justice Department here as well. And, of course, you know, Pam Bondi not being a great leader of the Justice Department.

[Damon]

Well, what about Kash Patel? Kash Patel was out there for the two years before he bec. The director, he wrote a book called Government Gangsters. Yes, he wrote a book called Government Gangsters that detailed how entrenched bureaucrats and intelligence officials worked against President Trump from within the federal government. Would you say that his tone is the same now that he is in that position? His public posture has shifted dramatically? Would you not say, no, I don't think so?

[Rick Delgado]

Because we're talking about the grand conspiracy, which is, I guess, what they're working on, which is, you know, essentially what he wrote about is all these people, what they've been doing behind the scenes trying to undermine the president during his first term. Hopefully all of that stuff is what they've been. Is what they'll unleash. You know, hopefully very Soon. But, you know, like everybody else, we all. We just want to see somebody held accountable. Give us somebody

[Damon]

all these. I mean, I don't know how you can say his public posture hasn't changed. He wrote a book called Government Gangsters. He went on show after show after show saying that these, these organization, three letter organizations could not be trusted. They could not. Their. They had. The leadership could not be trusted. They needed restructuring. They needed new leadership. They needed accountability from the deep state. And all of this. We don't hear any of that now that he's there. The building was going to get turned into a. Whatever the first day he was there that he said they would never reform themselves. They had to be taken on. Where have they been taken on?

[Rick Delgado]

Well, according to him, he's been doing. Doing it. And whoever is hiding who's heading up the CIA, I forget his name. From what I understand, he's doing. You know what, it's a year in. Do we hope we're going to see something very soon? Yes. That's all I can say because I don't know. I'm not down there. You're not down there. Slick Rick's not down there.

[Damon]

I see him on TV telling us how credible they are now, though, right? Because changed.

[Rick Delgado]

Because now they're actually arresting people, Damon. They don't see, they don't prosecute. They hand that over to the Justice Department, it's Pam Bondi, that their people have to take it up with what he's. What they've submitted and say, okay, we're going to prosecute these people. Once. Once they gather up everything. Here you go, here's what you need. And then if we don't see any justice, we got to look at the Justice Department and say, why aren't you prosecuting these people? I thought they just handed you all this evidence so, you know, you can't be judge, jury and execution. Executioner, though. I know that's the way the left likes to play it.

[Damon]

I don't know how trust is rebuilt through silence. And I don't know how trust is rebuilt by acting like prior statements were never made.

[Rick Delgado]

In what way?

[Damon]

Just what I just said.

[Rick Delgado]

Like prior statements.

[Damon]

This whole. Every TV appearance he made for two years.

[Rick Delgado]

I understand that. But now. But his role was as an outsider, as an attorney. Now he's an actual investigator. He's one of the police. The police have a different job. They don't prosecute. So that's why that has to change. He can't go in there going now. I'm going to take this guy to court. You can't. It's like a cop saying, you know what, Here's a ticket. Now I'm dragging you to court and I'm going to prosecute you as the attorney. It doesn't work that way usually. Right.

[Damon]

Well, I mean, this is. You think they've done a good job of targeting the deep state? It's news to me. I don't know. I'd like to see what the audience thinks.

[Rick Delgado]

I'm going by what John Solomon is saying. He seems to think that they're, they're going to move on Brennan.

[Slick Rick]

So we, I heard that earlier this week they were talking about.

[Damon]

Yeah, okay, so we'll see.

[Slick Rick]

See what happens.

[Damon]

All right, let's. Anyways, if you want to read that, that's in the American Thinker today. That's, I mean, American Greatness Today by Jeff Dornick. When does accountability for the deep state beginning? Delgado says it already has.

[Rick Delgado]

I think it's, I think it started on, on some levels, it hasn't, it hasn't gotten to the part where, where we're, we're celebrating and watching these people hang, you know, metaphorically, but hopefully soon.

[Damon]

Just one more part of this. Parents who were targeted and persecuted by the Biden Department of Justice are now being labeled terrorists by senior dog leaders leadership, while the man tasked with investigating that persecution is now sidelined. Whether this is described as a firing or a demotion is irrelevant because the outcome is the same. Another one of the good guys has been removed from doing the work voters were promised would finally drain the swamp. This is not an isolated incident or a misunderstanding, but a pattern that repeats with disturbing consistency every time someone begins making real progress against a deep state. Authority is strong, stripped. Investigations are stalled. Momentum is deliberately crushed before accountability can be delivered. And stepping back, objectively, looking at what's happened in the first year, I don't see how you can't agree with that.

[Rick Delgado]

All right, who are they talking about?

[Damon]

Well, they're talking about numerous things, but specifically they're talking about is the removal of Ed Martin, if you want to know. Specifically in that paragraph. But read. You have to read the whole article. All right, let's do some sports. Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell. LFS EXP is the promo code to use. Slickster. What's going on?

[Slick Rick]

Big the bill Starr accuses JetBlue of stealing fiance's jewelry and Rolex watches. This is Jenna Lemon Shelley of New York Post. Bill's left tackle, Dion Dawkins claimed that Jetblue employees allegedly stole jewelry, including Rolex watches, from his fiance Diana Muhammad's bag while the pair flew to first class from LA to Fort Lauderdale recently. JetBlue said it has launched an investigation into a matter in a statement to WIVB News 4 after Dawkins put the airline on block last in an ex post Tuesday, etblue makes no sense for security. I spent 10k to give my family an experience and put them all on first class, Dawkins wrote. He went on to say at JetBlue Mint from LA to Fort Lauderdale and employees steal my fiance's jewelry out of her bag, Rolex watches. Muhammad, who is a model and a registered nurse, has yet to publicly address the situation. We take these reports very seriously and have launched a thorough investigation into the matter, the JetBlue spokesman said. Said the in addition to conducting a comprehensive internal review, we will coordinate closely with law enforcement and other airport authorities to support their efforts and help ensure the issue is fully addressed. The five time Pro bowl offensive lineman is good player who just completed his ninth season with Buffalo and Muhammad have three children together, son Dill and daughters Dakota and Delilah. Muhammad and her kids appeared in the hard knock season 20 premiere. Dawkins founded Schno Smorgasbord Motorsports, a drift team in 2025 with a dedicated garage nearby Highmark Stadium, home of the Bills. So pretty crazy stuff there, Big D. I mean Rolex watches and the likes. That's pretty heavy. And this, this was a boxing bombshell from earlier tonight about two hours ago. Floyd Mayweather is going to unretire after after and resume his boxing career after an exhibition with Mike Tyson. Andreas Hale of ESPN reporting. Just days before his 49th birthday, Floyd Mayweather Jr. Has announced that he will end his retirement and resume his professional boxing career after his Spring 2026 exhibition with Mike Tyson. Mayweather has signed an exclusive agreement with CSI Sports and as his promoter for the next stage of his career. This guy, I mean you're talking about all time, right? 50 0, 27 wins by stoppage 40 he's going to come back. I mean he's like the only fighter to retire undefeated. It's like these guys just can't walk away. He's got all the money in the world, right? He's probably worth near a billion dollars if he didn't spend it all frivolously, which I doubt. And he was very frugal with his money. What do you think of that Big d Floyd Mayweather Jr. Coming back out to fight again?

[Damon]

I I don't, I Don't think anything of it. Maybe. Maybe he does need the money. There's been some stories of him having to stay overseas because of some issues. I. I have no idea.

[Slick Rick]

Wow, that'd be something to see.

[Damon]

All right, live from Studio 6P17 till the hour. We'll wrap it up for a week and a Friday night. Right.

[Slick Rick]

Let's wrap it up. We'll see what everybody has left. Well, tonight it's only the Ricks and me. So no Vinnie Mac, no Kevin Downey Jr. No Paul Nolan. They'll be back next week.

[Rick Delgado]

Week.

[Damon]

But I know there's people out there who are waiting for the Delgado UFO story of the night. We should just make a segment for it. Since there seems to be an. I don't know how there's one of these stories every day. We had a nice stretch of.

[Rick Delgado]

Did I tell you why we're seeing this?

[Damon]

I did. I mean, you gave us some whacked out reasoning, but I had a theory. Oh, yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

Well, it's meant to, it's meant to distract from Epstein.

[Damon]

Oh, yeah. Is there one coming up tonight here?

[Rick Delgado]

Of course there is.

[Damon]

Okay, people, it's coming up. Here we go.

[Rick Delgado]

Do you want me to lead with 54?

[Slick Rick]

Where are you?

[Damon]

Let's just area 59 or whatever I say. All right, Delgado, here we go. Main headlines. What do we got?

[Rick Delgado]

Do you want me to do that one first?

[Damon]

Yeah, let's go ahead.

[Slick Rick]

Get him going.

[Rick Delgado]

Beat me up, shall we? This one. Believe it or not, Senator John Fetterman from Pennsylvania says Trump should release the X Files and he thinks alien life does exist. That is correct.

[Public Ad Announcer]

Oh, yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

Senator John Fetterman called on President Trump to declassify and release the government files on UFOs and aliens. He said, I grew up and I was watching the X Files. Fetterman told Fox News now, if he's going to release all the X Files, let's release them. I mean, I think it could be a bipartisan thing to finally realize what's happening Here is, here's a clip of John Fetterman talking about aliens and life and alien life and if he thinks exists. Here is cut number nine. John Fetterman cut nine. Check this out.

[Damon]

Okay. I think what President Obama said that the odds, because of how many trillions of planets and everything across the universe, I mean, I think life does exist, but you know, how it could find us or how you can explain some of those videos that, you know, that's been released over the couple of years. So for me now, if, if President Trump is going to release everything, I think that's, that's fantastic because I think America, I think in the world would deserve if.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, so there he is, stuttering to his final conclusion that he thinks it would be a good thing for the President.

[Damon]

Not exactly sure what is, what's his position?

[Rick Delgado]

His position is it would be a good thing if President Trump decided to declassify the, all the alien and UFO information. And, and, you know, he talks about, you know, traveling from far away galaxies and such. There's a different theory that says it's more interdimensional, which means anti gravity type of things. I've got stuff on that. We could talk about that on Monday if you want.

[Damon]

How About Sunday?

[Rick Delgado]

No, I'll work it out on Sunday. So you have it for Monday. How about that?

[Damon]

Interdimensional.

[Rick Delgado]

Interdimensional, yes. Analope. Anna Paulina Luna has seen a lot of these things. She can't comment on them and other. Other members of Congress. So it's going to be interesting.

[Damon]

Do you think there will be a day where they can comment on them?

[Rick Delgado]

I think so. She said she was in a skiff recently. I think she was on with the PBD podcast talking about this.

[Damon]

How do we get you in a skiff?

[Rick Delgado]

I would love to be in a skiff.

[Damon]

How do we lock the door once you're in there? Whoa.

[Rick Delgado]

Just saying. There's a reason. All of a sudden all this stuff

[Damon]

is coming out, but it's all coming out and you don't even think it's coming out for the purpose of it coming out.

[Rick Delgado]

I think it's coming out to distract. I think eventually it probably would have come out. But this is the. In case of Epstein, break glass. Break the UFO glass. That'll distract everybody.

[Damon]

But who thinks that's actually. Will excites you? I think it's going to distract anybody.

[Rick Delgado]

Everybody's talking. Even. Even CNN is now putting stuff about UFOs on there.

[Slick Rick]

Really?

[Rick Delgado]

Well, when you start getting. Everybody start carrying the same thing. There's a reason. And then of course, President Trump says he wants to declassify stuff. So we might see that big speech coming from the president that we've alluded to over the last few days.

[Damon]

Carol Osborne says that. Delgado, you're absolutely right. College grad failure says. I agree with Delgado.

[Rick Delgado]

Thanks.

[Damon]

Thank you. And I am a believer. Okay. I believe. I think most of the audience here believes in little green men with you, Delgado. That that's what we're going to get out of this.

[Rick Delgado]

Delgado, your ride is here.

[Damon]

Yes. Here we go, Delgado. There we go.

[Rick Delgado]

The impact happens in an instant.

[Damon]

Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah.

[Damon]

Delgado, your ride is here.

[Rick Delgado]

Wow.

[Slick Rick]

Wow.

[Damon]

You don't actually think that, though. You just think we're going to see some like Star wars kind of ships or something. You know what?

[Rick Delgado]

There. There's a. There's also a story that I didn't get a chance to prep for today regarding a crashed vehicle in South Korea that was so large that they actually had to build a facility around it to hide it. They couldn't move it.

[Slick Rick]

Oh, wow.

[Rick Delgado]

And supposedly there's one in Oklahoma as well.

[Damon]

Really?

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah.

[Slick Rick]

Wow. Who shot it down? Kim Jong Un?

[Rick Delgado]

Yes. Harry's favorite North Korean leader.

[Slick Rick]

Wow.

[Damon]

All right, Delgado, I'M I'm.

[Rick Delgado]

You're intrigued.

[Damon]

I know I'm intrigued, Michelle. Bob says, damon, you're a downer. I. I don't know what I'm doing to be a downer. I'm just questioning Delgado and I'm questioning you. The. The audience seems to agree with me. Him, the little green people are members of Congress.

[Rick Delgado]

Snotty Scotty says, oh, those are reptilians.

[Damon]

Wendy says UFOs are a distraction from the Epstein files.

[Slick Rick]

Yeah, I think that's more like it.

[Damon]

All right.

[Slick Rick]

Oh, Harry's coming.

[Damon]

Oh, Harry's in the studio.

[Rick Delgado]

Harry's running in.

[Damon]

Do you think now, don't walk in front of the cameras, Harry. Do you think we're going to. Do you think we're going to see little green men? Or do you think that this is all Delgado is just nuts? What do you think? Do you think we'll see little green men? How are you feeling, by the way? Everybody was asking about you. Well, you have to sit and talk in front of into the microphone, Harry, you've done production your whole life.

[Rick Delgado]

I did.

[Damon]

So what do you think?

[Rick Delgado]

Oh, number one, they didn't do the operation today. Clearly. I texted.

[Damon]

Yes.

[Slick Rick]

Yeah, we covered.

[Damon]

Talking to the mic. Yeah, no, I'm with you, Rick. I said it yesterday. Are there aliens? 1,000%.

[Slick Rick]

Oh, we are not the only people here. And for any.

[Rick Delgado]

Anybody to think we're the only people here, it's ridiculous. And. And then I feel one day there'll be an independence Day like the movie. And then I heard today as well that there could be some news coming out of Egypt regarding some things to do with the.

[Slick Rick]

That sounds credible.

[Damon]

Sounds great. Sounds like you got a good handle on it.

[Rick Delgado]

The pyramids. There's going to be. There's going to be something coming out. Well, you're going back.

[Damon]

Yes.

[Slick Rick]

Oh, they're going to make a big sphinx out of it.

[Rick Delgado]

I think your ass is a sphinx.

[Slick Rick]

Yes.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, there's a lot of stuff coming

[Slick Rick]

out and I don't think it's a distraction for the.

[Damon]

I think, you know, Obama open the

[Rick Delgado]

door doing it now because of that. Really?

[Slick Rick]

I don't think that. But are there.

[Rick Delgado]

Are there other people out there in the universe?

[Damon]

100% for anybody.

[Rick Delgado]

Not.

[Slick Rick]

Okay.

[Rick Delgado]

That is, I think, is a little,

[Damon]

you know, we're not the only people. So we've had our share of strange people walk through these stores.

[Rick Delgado]

That's true.

[Damon]

Put something on X today about something extra. I don't know what it was. And I said, well, I have proof of that every night. Sitting to my right. Yeah, yeah.

[Slick Rick]

Notice he's ramping up all his garb here, huh?

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, I make sure they know I'm.

[Damon]

What else is in the news?

[Rick Delgado]

Wild, wild scene happened in New Jersey, Damon, as this video shows a mom and two sons hit by an alleged drunk driver as they're coming out of a New Jersey preschool school. You got to see the video to believe it yourself because it's just insane. So lucky that they weren't actually killed by this drunk driver. Here it is. This is. Let's see. This is cut number 10. Check this out. Watch this. She came out.

[Damon]

Oh.

[Rick Delgado]

Oh, my gosh. Luckily, she was able to pull one kid and was about to grab the other one when the car hit the side of the. The oh. Thing there. And they all escaped serious injury. They did get injured, of course.

[Damon]

Thank God.

[Rick Delgado]

But this is them leaving the preschool, and as they're coming. Walking towards the. The parking lot, they see this car coming and.

[Damon]

Oh.

[Rick Delgado]

Oh, just. I'm sure they were. She was stunned as what she was seeing. And then watch this. Just able to get.

[Slick Rick]

Yeah, that little guy just.

[Rick Delgado]

He sustained an injury to his leg, his ankle there.

[Damon]

Oh, good Lord.

[Rick Delgado]

But lucky to be alive. Yeah, they're all going to be all right. Lucky to be alive.

[Damon]

All right, we gotta roll. Have a great weekend, everybody. Thanks, everybody on the show. Friend Tony, great job. Harry, thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend, everybody. We'll see you Monday back here live from Studio 6B. As long as we don't have nine feet of snow, that could be a problem. People at work supported me while I
