Paul Nolan
How are you?
- [02:05]
Slickster
I'm doing good, Big D. How was your Friday? Friday was good. I had a little government stuff earlier in the day. Went back to an old haunt, the Club Savoy on Long island. And good to see it. It's changed quite a bit since I met new Kids on the block for the first time when they were actually a nobody and they became one of the biggest acts of all time. Boys, boy band. But it was a good day, had a lot of fun. I came here, had a little pizza Friday with Big D, ordered in a couple of pies for us.
- [02:28]
Big D
Like he always hanging around in here.
- [02:30]
Slickster
Today Harry was hanging out. Good to see Harry. It's looking good. Harry's getting ready for cpac. He's getting on the plane Monday morning, man.
- [02:36]
Big D
Big, big conversations on CPAC today, man. CPAC is going to be. CPAC's going to be something else. If you're there to go see Real America's Voice I mean, it's going to be the. It's going to be the thing to see.
- [02:48]
Slickster
We were talking about the Gaylord. That's a fantastic place to have cpac. When I heard that from Harry, I was like, man, I wish I was going. It sounds like a good place, good time.
- [02:55]
Big D
Well, I mean it's going to be. We're reminiscing about the years of cpac. I haven't been there about three, four, five years or so, but. I know, but Real America's Voice. Of all the years of cpac. Thinking back at where we were and where the. What's going to look like this year, it's just amazing. I mean, the booth at CPAC this year for real America's Voice. The coverage, the shows, the personalities, the music, the comedians, the talent. Rob Schneider. Hello, Hello. Rob Schneider headlining comedy performances at the Real America's Voice booth. All your favorite personalities from Real America's Voice.
- [03:37]
Slickster
Except for us, except for Slick. We have no talent here. So that's why we're not going.
- [03:42]
Big D
They're stuck with the shows that have talent to bring there. But no, it's going to be, it's going to be the place to be. The attraction is going to be real America's Voice booth. It's just. There's going to be really no place else to go. It's going to be great. Next week, Harry, on the highway heading down there. Vinnie Mac's going to be down there too on Tuesday. And then Wednesday they'll be pretty much setting up but ready to go. And then Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. That guy will not be there.
- [04:09]
Slickster
He couldn't get a flight.
- [04:13]
Big D
Mr. Nolan, how are you?
- [04:14]
Paul Nolan
I'm good.
- [04:15]
Big D
How was your day?
- [04:16]
Paul Nolan
It was very eventful. It was busy. We were hitting the finish line. The open house on the recent house that we just looks great.
- [04:24]
Slickster
That's a beautiful house.
- [04:25]
Paul Nolan
We've renovated all of it. Just essentially built a new house with the exception of the foundation. But it was, it was, it's been a bit of a journey. But you talk about CPAC and we always talk about the same thing when it's over. The messaging.
- [04:38]
Big D
Yeah, but what do you leave there with?
- [04:40]
Paul Nolan
Yeah, I mean, to me it seems like RAV is like, like the heart and soul of it now. When they first got there, they had like a pop up tent and a little folding table with a napkin over it.
- [04:50]
Big D
That's exactly right.
- [04:51]
Slickster
They take it over now and now
- [04:53]
Big D
it's like they're the, the cornerstone, the main cornerstone attraction.
- [04:56]
Paul Nolan
But why were we not invited well,
- [04:59]
Big D
it's a long story. It's a long story.
- [05:02]
Paul Nolan
Because we suck.
- [05:04]
Big D
No.
- [05:04]
Slickster
Well, that too, a long story.
- [05:07]
Big D
So.
- [05:07]
Paul Nolan
All right. Didn't stop Vin, though.
- [05:11]
Slickster
We're a night. We're a night show, too.
- [05:13]
Big D
Yeah.
- [05:13]
Slickster
Yeah, we're a night show.
- [05:14]
Big D
Can I get the.
- [05:15]
Slickster
That's the problem.
- [05:16]
Big D
The words here. Yeah. Vinnie Mac will be down there, so he's an og. I think this is Vin's first time at cpac, so he'll be down there. So you can check that out.
- [05:28]
Slickster
He'll be name dropping come Monday night.
- [05:34]
Paul Nolan
What's the. Over under on selfies.
- [05:36]
Big D
Yeah.
- [05:36]
Slickster
Oh.
- [05:37]
Big D
All right. Let's start tonight because I think this is a really interesting take on what we saw this week with tonight's first word. And tonight's first word, actually is not my first word. It's the. I was reading Rachel o', Donoghue, who I wasn't familiar with, in a place called Honest Reporting, which I was also not familiar with. Maybe I should have been with. A very underreported take on what she. What we've seen this week in Reload in relation to Joe Kent. And she said today, Joe Kent is now at war with. Well, Joe Kent. And the media seems remarkably uninterested in asking which version of Joe Kent we're supposed to believe. Because the Joe Kent of just a few years ago was unequivocal about one thing. The Iranian regime posed a serious growing threat to the United States. He said so repeatedly on social media and in unrecorded interviews, issuing stark warnings about Iran's ballistic missile capabilities and arguing that the US had effectively been in conflict with the Iranian regime since about 1979. On that point, he was hardly alone. The regime's own Death to America slogan, alongside its longstanding support for its terrorist proxies responsible for attacks on U.S. personnel all over the world, underscored that threat that he very well described. And then there's the Joe Kent of this week, the man who resigned in a letter posted to X claiming that Iran posed no imminent threat to the US at all and that President Donald Trump had been deceived into war by Israel and its powerful American lobby. End quote. It's a transformation so stark that it really demands explanation. But if you expected him to account for his dramatic reversal, then you would have been disappointed by his first appearance on Tucker Carlson's show just hours after his resignation, an appearance that in truth, was probably entirely predictable. Because where does one go after turning against your own president and government to recast yourself as a truth teller? Well, increasingly the answer seems to be Carlson's platform, where claims like these are embraced, not examined. More curious still was the timing. His interview was lined up with remarkable speed less than 24 hours after his resignation went public. That curiosity was quickly answered. On Wednesday it emerged that he is now under had been already under FBI investigation for allegedly leaking sensitive intelligence. A probe that began long before his resignation. Suddenly the sequence of events looks quite a bit different. What was presented by much of the mainstream media as a principled stand began to resemble something else entirely. Maybe a preemptive exit. And perhaps anticipating the optics, Joe Kent is now positioning to frame that investigation not as the cause of his resignation, but as but as retaliation for it. Yet this sequence of events is going largely unexamined by the mainstream media. A number of them. The mainstream media. The headlines, whether intentionally or not, kind of muddied the timeline. Several outlets frame the FBI investigation as something that followed Kent's resignation rather than something that preceded it. The Hill for example, reported Joe Kent under investigation by FBI Blast King of Ayatollah on Tucker Carlson. Axios headline read Joe Kent under FBI investigation for alleged leaks. While the BBC ran with quote, former counterterrorism had investigated by FBI over alleged leaks. Now if you're a reader scanning these headlines, you could easily conclude that the investigation was a response to Kent's resignation or his public statements rather than an existing probe that precipitated them. Kent's interview itself was not short on material either. He made a series of attention grabbing and at sometimes outright absurd claims entirely consistent with his long and well documented record of promoting such theories. Among them were suggestions that Charlie Kirk had attempted to extract a promise from Kent that the US would not go to war with Iran shortly before his death. Alongside insinuations that any investigation which might implicate Israel or pro Israel actors had been deliberately suppressed pressed. Yet these were not the claims that came to dominate the conversation this week. To understand why, one has to look beyond traditional media and examine what unfolded across social media platforms in the hours following Kent's appearance on Tucker. Within a remarkably short time, one particular claim from the interview began to circulate at scale. Kent's assertion that Israel had effectively driven the United States into war with Iran. Honest Reporting's AI labs tracked more than 65 direct instances of this narrative being pushed within a wider ecosystem of over 1100 Kent related posts across X, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. The pattern of amplification was revealing. It was not simply organic virality. State aligned actors were among the first to move, Russian outlets such as RT spread the claim within minutes alongside pro Kremlin commentators who framed Kent's remarks within a broader anti Western narrative. Their messaging was quickly mirrored by pro Iran and aligned networks, which adopted language consistent with Iranian state framing, portraying the war as Israeli instigated aggression and Iran as the victim. From there, the narrative spread across Pakistani and Kashmir linked networks, including pages such as Kashmir Tales and Kashmir Publishing, which pushed the claim with overtly anti Israel framing. It also extended into wider international media ecosystems, including Latin America accounts, suggesting rapid translation into Spanish language discourse. What emerged is not a fragmented conversation, but a convergence. Actors with varying ideological positions aligned almost immediately around a single, highly specific message that Israel had manipulated the United States and Trump into war. There are clear indicators that this amplification was not organic. Identical phrasing appeared across multiple Facebook groups simultaneously, while certain accounts posted the exact same content across platforms at the same time, patterns consistent with coordinated inauthentic behavior. This is where the story becomes more consequential, because when we turn back to mainstream media coverage, we see a similar emphasis beginning to take hold. Cnn, for example, highlighted Ken's claim as a central takeaway from the interview repeated claims that Israel drew us into the Iran war. The Associated Press ran with a headline stating Joe Kent's Resignation Over Iran War Reignites Antisemitism Fears and Debate over Israeli Influence. While ABC News used nearly identical framing. In other words, the same narrative that was rapidly amplified across state media, ideological networks and coordinated online ecosystems began to shape the contours of the mainstream media here in the US this does not mean that journalists are deliberately echoing propaganda, but it does illustrate how modern information flows and how it operates. Narratives are selected, amplified, and made salient on social media, often by actors with clear agendas. Those narratives then seep into mainstream media coverage, not always as explicit endorsements, but as framing choices. Which claims are foregrounded, which are repeated, and which are allowed to define the story. And once that happens, the feedback loop is complete. Joe Kent is not an anonymous account or a fringe activist. He is a former senior counterterrorism official. That status gives his words weight, allowing a narrative that might otherwise be dismissed to travel further, faster and with greater legitimacy. And that's tonight's first word.
- [13:56]
Paul Nolan
We have going to commercial right now.
- [14:12]
Big D
All right, 17 past the hour. Live from Studio 6 BE. Let me just go back to the end of the first word there. And again, I want to just make mention that the first word was really not a first word. It was words of Rachel o' Donoghue in Honest Reporting today. And I saw this and I just thought this is probably better than any first word I could come up with because it made the case for what we saw this week with Joe Kent and I hadn't really, really seen. So I just want to go back to the end of it because she said, Joe Kent is not an anonymous account or a fringe activist. He's a former senior counterterrorism official. That status gives his words weight, allowing a narrative that might otherwise be dismissed to travel further, faster and with greater legitimacy. That is what makes this moment so significant. Not just what Joe Kent said, but how it spread and how quickly it was absorbed into coverage. That really should have been more of an interrogation of it. And that's, that's how she ends. So, and I thought that was interesting because again, it was one of the, it's really more of a story about the mainstream media in, in some ways than it is about, about him, the individual. It's more about how the media, the narratives of the media and how these things start on social media and some of these other esoteric places. And then all of a sudden, mainstream media, who really is for the most part lazy in their job, especially when it comes to some of these things, they just pick up on these themes that are already out there esoterically and just start reporting on it. Like it's like that's what they came up with instead of actually looking at the facts and, and actually wanting to more interrogate what this guy's previously said, what he, what he ran on twice and lost, by the way. Lost, by the way, in a trunk. I see people saying, I'll watch for him on a ticket. I mean, he lost in a district that was Trump or Republican, plus, like 14 in one of the years Trump was on the ballot and he lost to some Looney Tunes Democrats. So, I mean, I'm not really sure what ballot he's going to be on, but maybe that's what he's positioning for somewhere down the line. I have, I have no idea.
- [16:18]
Paul Nolan
Again, so I think it talks to the way the algorithms and the mainstream media really do drive narratives. They basically tell people who are too busy to do the real homework themselves, who have no time to dig in, and they live on these 30 second, 90 second, three minute sound bites and bits and trying essentially to shape the narrative. And I feel like it's fully, you know, connected to, you know, how, you know, the, the major banking cartels like BlackRock and Vanguard and State street align their, you know, their Portfolios. To me, it's like, you know, they control every one of these media narratives on every front. You know, we see the endless division. Once they want, you know, George Floyd goes down, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Everyone's got to be frothed up in rage. You know, it's the same thing with everything. And now to see some of the framing, you know, in this situation. And again, I think it goes to the point you said, if you don't agree with Joe Kent, that's fine, but I don't know how any could agree with him to jump on Tucker or any mainstream, I guess you call it, mainstream podcast or what is Tucker number four or five in the, in the, in the world in terms of volume? I mean, you go there because you have an axe to grind. To me, I'm not sure, like, is there any level of decorum where he needs to sit back, give it a month, give it some time.
- [17:50]
Big D
Well, that was my main thing. I mean, to be doing this 48 hours while we're still, you know, the President is engaged all over the world and you just, I mean, that was one of the biggest issues I had with it, was the timing of it.
- [18:01]
Paul Nolan
Yeah, it just seems to me like it was too self serving to me. It just, it feels like an op to me. I just don't understand how a guy can make that move, be so completely disruptive to Commander in Chief and then just to get on his, you know, on the, on the pulpit and just start, you know, just, you know, making his own agenda the most important, you know, part of it. So I, I, you know, there's a lot to make out of that and I think we're inundated with the media, endlessly doing this to us.
- [18:39]
Big D
And by the way, in all of the things I've seen him do so far, and I've only seen little snippets, I actually saw that he actually sat down as well with the American Conserv conservative outlet tonight. I haven't watched that, but I know he sat down with Megyn Kelly as well. And I saw a little bit of her opening with him and I, Tucker, I haven't, I've seen a couple clips, but I haven't seen anyone actually ask him if he, if directly asked him directly. Have you, did you or did you not leak any information? I mean, I know it seems like a basic question, but no one's actually asked him that. You know, they kind of talk around the fringe of it and he's, and he says, you know, the facts are on my side. So he obviously is implying that he didn't, but no one's asked him directly, at least in the interviews I've seen. Maybe somebody has, but I haven't seen the clip of it yet.
- [19:28]
Paul Nolan
How long was the Tucker interview? Was it almost three hours?
- [19:31]
Big D
I don't, I don't think it was even close to that long. Was it?
- [19:34]
Paul Nolan
I have no idea.
- [19:35]
Big D
Like, no, I haven't, I haven't. I don't know. I haven't watched it. Yeah, but to this, to this place that I found this reporting today, this honest reporting at honest reporting on Twitter. I hadn't been familiar with them until I saw this today, but they actually have another thread besides that, the article on this coordination with him. And again, this goes into it even a little deeper and different than what I just covered in the first segment. And it says Joe Kent on Carlson. Within minutes, the same clip, same caption. St outrige was same outrage was flooding the Internet. It's not organic, it's not coincidence. And so it's. And it even goes through things like what they call the trigger quote. They said the trigger quote is quote, the Israelis drove the decision, quote, end quote, to go to war with Iran. That those five words were clipped and posted across hundreds of accounts almost simultaneously, not minutes after it trended during the broadcast. Real breaking news takes time to spread. This one had a running start. Who amplified it? A coalition that should make you raise an EyeBrow. Russian state TV, RT, Iranian state media, Hamas aligned Quds News Network, TRT, Sputnik, Brazil, Jackson Hinkle, Candace Owens, MTG and Max Blumenthal. The rollout wasn't spontaneous, it was scripted. Kent resigns, Tucker booked within hours. Real whistleblowers are chaotic. They call journalists from parking lots. They don't have a media tour lined up before the ink dries on their resignation letter. True, this had a plan. The narrative quickly evolved, escalating beyond what Kent actually said. Israel forced the US into war. This was Kent's primary argument. Israel killed Charlie, Kirk, Jackson, Hinkle and Adam. A media manufactured Israel controls America. A lazy, repackaged, anti Semitic trope that's called narrative laundering. One final tell what got buried from 2020 to 2024, Joe Kent publicly called for destroying Iran's nuclear and ballistic capabilities repeatedly. That record was almost completely absent from any of these conversations. Narrative laundering doesn't only determine what to amplify, but what to erase. Bottom line, the FBI was investigating Joe Kent. He resigned to control the narrative. The speed, uniformity and foreign state amplification. Of the story are not organic. It was weaponized within minutes. So again, you can believe all of it. You can believe none of it. I found it interesting. And again, if you want to see it for yourself, I shared it on our social media and you can go to Honest Reporting on X and take a look at the work they did on it. And again, you might believe all of it. You might believe none of it.
- [22:31]
Slickster
That's.
- [22:32]
Big D
That's up to you. So, all right, we'll take a break and then we're going to do sports. We're going to get to some news with Paul Nolan. We've got some things to get to on the debt. We'll get caught up on where we are with the save act. We'll get caught up in our brackets. Last time I checked, Big D, I think Aaron, of course, would glee ran into me to say, have you looked at your brackets? You're not number one anymore. Yes, I. Yes, thank you. I had fallen to, I think, five.
- [22:59]
Slickster
I think your alma mater hurt you a little bit. You picked Hofstra.
- [23:02]
Big D
I did pick Hofstra.
- [23:02]
Slickster
And Santa Clara killed no pride in that.
- [23:06]
Big D
They should have had that game. Clara had the game. Coach didn't get the timeout.
- [23:12]
Slickster
Good time.
- [23:12]
Big D
He hits a half court shot and we're off to overtime and Kentucky wins.
- [23:16]
Slickster
So, yeah, I was on Kentucky. So good thing.
- [23:18]
Big D
Yeah. All right, so we'll check in with all of that when we get back. Live from Studio 6P on a Friday night, it.
- [23:49]
Paul Nolan
Sam.
- [24:16]
Big D
All right, 30 minutes past the hour. Live from Studio 6B on a Friday night. Not at the America first warehouse, unfortunately, because KDJ is doing a comedy show. Rick Delgado's on vacation. Vinny Mac is on vacation. Too busy to be here. So Mr. Nolan's here with Slick Rick. So we're in the studio tonight. We'll be back at the American first warehouse on Friday. Next Friday, hopefully. Let's do some sports. Sports is brought to you by Mike Lynn Dell LFSXP is the promo code to use. Slickster. What's going on?
- [24:47]
Slickster
All right, well, let's get right up to it. NCAA tournament, we're going out day two here in the first round. And right now Iowa is leading Clemson 5147 to go there in the second half at the half, St. John's 47, 28 over Northern Iowa. UCF trails UCLA 3527 at the half as well. Also at the half, Purdue 45, 33 over Queens. We have finals from earlier today in OT. Kentucky in a nail biter. Did beat Santa Clara 89, 84. When it was all said and done, it was a buzzer beater shot right at the end to get Kentuck the overtime or they would have got eliminated. And Big D would have been very happy. Probably would have been number one right now. Texas Tech 9171. Arizona wiped up Long Island 92 to 58. Virginia 8273 over. Right state. We had Iowa State, the great state of Iowa, 108 to 74 over Tennessee State, Alabama, they smoked Damon's Alma Mater 90 to 70.
- [25:42]
Big D
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- [25:44]
Slickster
They edged them 90 to 70.
- [25:46]
Paul Nolan
Overly happy about that.
- [25:47]
Slickster
No, I mean, come on. Well, I had Alabama. I'm no fool. You. We got Utah State over Villanova.
- [25:54]
Big D
So. Are you saying I'm a fool?
- [25:55]
Slickster
No. No, I know. I just. I wasn't going to join that bandwagon, you know, I didn't. I. I have no pride. They're still the Flying Dutchman to me. I. I'm sorry. They're always going to be that. We got Miami of Ohio, obviously fell to Tennessee earlier today. Oh, Tennessee looked good, 7856. And we got Prairie View in Florida coming up at 9:25. California Baptist at Kansas, 9:45 there. Kansas should roll that one. And UConn, they play at 10pm as well. They take it on, Furman. And last but not least, because I'm sorry I had to go through 16 games for you all. Miami number seven, Miami taking on number 10, Missouri. That could be an interesting game, Big D. And that's a 1010 tip off there. And some sad news today, and I'm sure most people heard this actually broke earlier this morning, probably around 9:30, 10 o' clock Eastern East coast time. But Chuck Norris passed away at 86 years old. And well, he falls under the guise of sports, although he a Hollywood star, but he's probably one of the greatest ever put on a gi. But he did pass away earlier today. This is Brent Brookhouse of CBS News. Accomplished martial artist and action movie and television star Chuck Norris has died at 86, according to his family. It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning. He actually passed away on the 19th. On Thursday, a family statement read, while we'd like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace. And after a career in the United States Air Force, thank you for your service. Norris won numerous martial arts tournaments. After multiple wins in prestigious karate tournaments, Norris was awarded the title of Fighter of the Year by Black belt magazine in 1969.
- [27:31]
Paul Nolan
Think about the life he had.
- [27:33]
Slickster
Wow, talk about Bruce Lee times right too. And what a life he had. In his martial arts career. Norris achieved black belts in Tang Soo do, taekwondo, karate, Brazilian jiu jitsu and judo, as well as founding his own system of martial arts, Khan Kun Kuk Do. Okay, that's a new one for me. Norris, who had previously formed a friendship with fellow martial arts icon and film star Bruce Lee, made his own on screen debut in the 1968 film the Wrecking Crew. The film was also Lee's Hollywood debut as he served as an action choreographer for the Dean Martin led vehicle. I mean, his career just goes on and on. It was just absolutely incredible. Pop culture relevance continued for Norris as popular Chuck Norris facts meme emerged in 2005 based on his tough guy Persona. He also became a legendary for his workout routines where his infomercials for the Total Gym were seen across TV for decades. So, you know, rest in peace. The great Chuck Norris, one of the greatest to do it. You know, they said he arguably one of the absolute top karate guys of all time.
- [28:30]
Big D
Yeah.
- [28:30]
Paul Nolan
What out of that, you know, it's weird, like some of the liberal outlets. One of the liberal outlets that came up my feed today, my buddy Peter Rizzo passed this on to me. Chuck Norris pans for pass anti gay remarks, dies at 86.
- [28:44]
Slickster
Are you kidding me?
- [28:45]
Paul Nolan
The liberal media can't control themselves to take a shot like people who are just beloved by most of Americans. It's just as if you can't, as you say, hate the media. Enough.
- [28:56]
Slickster
Just disgusting. And it's back to some good news in the spirit of the ncaa. And while, you know, I'm rolling with High Point, the young lady who came to see me a couple of weeks ago on at the warehouse on the show, her and her mom gave me this beautiful little High Point Prowler, their mascot doll and said, slick, I know you love the purple. I'm a freshman at High Point University down in North Carolina. She goes, and we're trying to get them, you know, rally to get them into the tournament. Well, they didn't need any help. They got right into that tournament. They were fabulous. And then they had a great upset yesterday. And I got to show these two guys it reminds me of me when I was their age. They're from the High Point University radio and they call the action in this game. Aaron, just roll cut to and let's just have at it.
- [29:37]
Big D
Takes it inbounds, nine seconds.

Listen, Speedy Claxton gave one of the great speeches to his team when they made the tournament this year. And he. And he said, you know, I. I rem. I don't remember a lot of my high school team. I didn't stay in touch a lot with my professional team in the NBA and anyone from there.

But the run that I made with my college team, which, by the way, was Hofstra, he's like, we are still like brothers. We are as close as. As any group that I played basketball with. Not my high school, not my college, but, I mean, not my pro, but in between, in those colleges, this is the greatest time you'll ever have. It was a great speech he gave to them going in. Obviously, they lost today, which they were big underdogs, but I thought. I thought he gave a really good speech to them.

It's funny you said that, because I recently saw a. An interview with Charlie McAvoy, who is the best defenseman on Team USA, which, as we know, won the gold first time since 1980. And that group of kids were all in, like, this 97 and 96 birth year, so to speak, which is where they do the hockey thing. And they all played against. With each other and against these Canadian kids coming up in the world juniors, you know, in the international championships. And they face each other all the time in these tournaments. And with the way Charlie McAvoy, who's a local kid from Long island, had said, he goes the brotherhood we have on this USA team, there's nothing like it. And it's really one of the reasons that propelled us to overcome such great odds to make that win is because every guy loved each other and everybody, you know, stood up for each other. And, you know, like, to me, that's the essence of sports, and that's what. But when people get too obsessed about it, it goes too far. But when. When you see what a group of people could do together, when they all believe and they're all in it together and they're all selfless, it's super exciting.

Paul Nolan
This is a really large story from Zero Hedge, and it's entitled Bond Markets Are Beginning to Panic Over Inflation. Yeah, I wanna, like, condense it down, but the full article will be on my ex, paulexnoling. Give me a follow. I try to follow back. Bond markets starting to send a clear warning inflation may not be under control. Investors are demanding higher yields, a sign they're growing uneasy about where prices are headed. Even though traditional inflation gauges haven't fully caught up on the surface, measures like inflation expectations still look relatively stable. But underneath, the bond market is beginning to price in something way more serious. At the center of the concern is energy disruptions tied to tensions evolving. Obviously, Iran and the Strait of Hormuz threaten a major chunk of the global oil supply. But that's not only a temporary shock, it's kind of a structural pressure that can keep inflation elevated longer than expected. Zero Hedge is arguing here that the markets are still too complacent. There's an assumption that things will normalize quickly, but restoring the supply chains, especially in energy, takes time. And if oil prices stay high, that feeds directly into a broader inflation across the economy. This creates a growing disconnect Official narratives suggest inflation is cooling while the bond markets are increasingly signaling the opposite. History offers a warning here though. Similar energy driven shocks have led to prolonged inflation in the past forcing central banks to keep interest rates higher and longer than investors had anticipated. And the real risk is inflation proves sticky. Policymakers may not be able to cut rates anytime soon and they could be forced to tighten him even further.
- [34:54]
Big D
Well, we talked about this with Philip Patrick last night and I think Kevin Warsh, even though he's the President's hand picked guy to go in there, still has to get obviously approved and maybe Thom Tillis needs to be made aware of that again. But he's in a tough spot. He is in a tough spot because I just don't, I don't, I don't see how rate cuts can even be even thought of or be on the table given this scenario. Right now you look at bond yields have surged all, all over. You look at the Australian 10 year yield hit their highest since 2011. The 2 year at 4, 6, 9 overnight index swapped pricing in 70 basis points. The UK 2 year rose 30 basis points. And if you look at what central banks have said in the last 48 hours, they've all left rates unchanged when people thought rate cuts were on the table. And they've really adopted much more hawkish tones signaling a readiness for maybe inflation to start spiking again. And I think, I just don't see how Kevin Warsh is going to not have to take the same position here. And that's a tough position to be in because the President is obviously going to, is making a change from Jerome Powell because he thinks rates are too high. He has said over and over and over again. Now I would assume he has to understand that what's going on around the world, this has to affect that position. And I'm sure they're going to have to have some discussions about it. But it's a tough position to be in for the new Fed chair that's going to come in because I just don't see, I don't see how red cuts could even be contemplated this year.

Paul Nolan
Yeah, I don't know how so either. I mean with all this volatility and there's, and like we said many times with the show, every single piece on the global chessboard is moving.

Why didn't Troop tell US allies in Europe and Asia, like Japan, about the war before attacking Iran? So we are very confused about Japanese citizens.

That's a payback.
- [40:30]
Big D
Yeah. Let's talk about the. Let's talk about the SAVE Act. And we'll start by listening to Senator Mike Lee just about a half hour ago on the floor of the Senate. Here's where he's at.
- [40:47]
Paul Nolan
When here.
- [40:48]
Slickster
When somebody else exercises that right, they're undermining your vote. My vote?
- [40:53]

- [40:56]

- [40:59]
Big D
the Senate chamber every day, day after
- [41:03]
Slickster
day, week after week, month after month, if that's what it takes to get this thing passed. But it will pass. We will not stop until it does.
- [41:12]
Big D
Thank you, Mr. President. Mm. There's Mike Lee.
- [41:15]
Paul Nolan
Not exactly impassioned didn't sound like Newt Rockne.
- [41:20]
Big D
Well, I would take 53. Well, I take 100 Mike Lee's, but I take 53 Mike Lee's as opposed to one Mike Lee and I don't know one Lisa Murkowski. Oh, yeah, I can tell you that because Lisa Murkowski is on the floor of the Senate arguing that, well, many things, but one of her things is we need to put an exemption in for anybody born before 1947 or something like that. She says too hard for them to produce id.
- [41:52]
Slickster
Are you kidding me?
- [41:53]
Big D
This is a Republican on the floor of the Senate. And as isn't that ageism, as Maryland Kittle says today over at the Federalist, Murkowski is probably about the best Senator Republican that the Democrats have ever had. She doesn't want to waste her time with such inconsequential things as election integrity, particularly making sure noncitizens don't vote in US Elections. So what's important to her, what she's been arguing on the floor, why she's been arguing for Native Hawaiian women. Of course, that's the resolution that Murkowski proudly lobbied for in the Senate this week as she works with the Democrats to try to kill this bill. That's right. She's working with them to try to kill this bill. The Save America act, Senate Resolution 650. This is her genius idea and it recognizes, quote, the heritage culture and contributions of American Indians, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiian women in the United States. And that's the amendment she put on the floor. And you'll be glad to know that her priority was considered Wednesday and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by unanimous consent. Just like that, bam, the republic is saved. Rkowski has said she won't support the voter verification bill. The Republican has been a perfect Democrat on the subject, using the same inane and false fear mongering arguments as the left has in her opposition to the legislation, who again is about 80% supported by the American people. On Thursday, Cynthia Loomis from Wyoming, she introduced the Local Data for Better Conservation Act. The proposal, according to the Senator's office, would amend the Endangered species Act of 1973 to require federal officials to accept and incorporate data collected by state wildlife agencies when making listing and delisting determinations for endangered and threatened species. That's what she wants added into the bill. These are Republicans. Mike Lee's there saying, let's take a vote on voter id. If Chuck Schumer says all of a sudden they'll they support at Least just that. Let's break it up. Let's do whatever we have to do to save the country. Let's do whatever we have to do to save the elections. And then you have Murkowski. Let's. Let's make sure we honor Hawaiian women, Indian women. We got to get that in. And then Loomis, we have to adjust the Endangered species Act of 1973. So I got to get on the floor and fight for. Well, what do you think about voter rights? I'll get back to that later. Right now, I got to vote for the wildlife agencies and the Endangered Species act, which, okay, maybe there's merit to the. I mean, fine, but do we have bigger fish to fry right now at this moment? I think so. But this is what the Republicans are on the floor arguing for right now in this process of debate. Now, she says Loomis has been a vocal supporter of the Save America act, which at its core Requires proof of U.S. citizenship to register, to vote in photo identification, to vote in federal elections. But alas, the Senate remains no place for pressing business and urgent action unless the urgency is earmarks for special pork barrel projects. Exactly. And that's what her and Murkowski are doing. So this is pretty much where we're at with this thing. And there's no inclination, at least so far, that this is going to be anything other than a 60 vote threshold, which still means that this is all performative theater. Even if Thune has done. According to Rachel Bovard, Thune has done some decent things in how he brought this to the floor to get the Senate on the bill, quote, unquote. But again, all of that is just dressing on nothing. If we don't get it passed or get some part of it passed, which Mike Lee talked about in the last couple days,
- [46:30]
Paul Nolan
this is just another example of how badly we need term limits and how badly. How badly we need to. Every. Every one of these people should have to wear the exact donor list on their shirt. I mean, 90% of 80% of Americans want the SAVE act, and they just. They're not gonna get it through. It's just such a scam. It's. The unit party's useless to us all. I just give up.
- [46:54]
Big D
Yeah, well, I mean, you know, you talk about not being unified, and again, here's two Republicans on the floor arguing something that, again, it's just. It's just pork filled on these bills that they love to do. That's something that ingratiates them with their people back home, but has nothing to do with the, with the crux of what's at hand and what's, like I said, the bigger fish we're trying to fry right now. But this is where the Republicans spend their time. They're just again, no messaging, no messengers. We don't even know what we believe in. And we take our time to argue, argue things like this this week, so. All right, live from Studio 6B. We're back. Hour two coming up right after this. Get ready America.

NCAA. We're almost in the last leg of the first round tonight and we got four games in action late second half. Clemson trailing Iowa 63 57, trying to make a comeback there. St. John's 57 to 40 over Northern Iowa. Little time left, but it looks like St. John's is in control there. Up 17, UCLA 50, UCF 43, 12 to go there in the second half. And Purdue, well, they're taking care of business. 65:38 over Queens. All over but the crying there. NHL to the ice. We go real quick there. Hurricanes over The Maple Leafs 3 2, 17 to go there in the third. 16 to go in the third. Capitals blank and the Devils one zip there in the Avalanche. One nothing over the Blackhawks, 540 to go in the first. Panthers, Flames, Ducks, Mammoth coming up at 9 and 10 respectively. And then, well, the President Trump takes action to protect Army Navy football game slot this is Nick Gilbertson of Breitbart, Washington. President Donald Trump hosted the Navy football team at the White House on Friday for the Commander in Chief trophy presentation and took action to protect the time honored Army Navy football game slot. At the end of the ceremony, the president signed an executive order to ensure no other college football games are played at the time of the Army Navy game on the second Saturday in December. And here he is signing. Aaron, if you roll cut three, please.

And One more quick one. World Baseball Classic Final attracted historic viewership with over 10 million watching on Fox. Scott Thompson of Fox News Venezuela defeated Team USA 3 to 2 in the world Baseball Classic final Tuesday. And the game was historic in more ways than one. Venezuela won its first ever WBC title and players flooded the field with emotion and pride as they celebrated the victory. History was also made during the telecast when 10,784,000 viewers watched the final on Fox and Fox deportis it became the most watched WBC telecast of all time. Telecast averaged 10,228,000 viewers while hitting its peak at 12 million from 10:30 to 10:45 on Fox. So, wow. World Baseball Classic getting out there.

All right, slick. Very good. Five minutes past the hour. Live from Studio 6B, Paul Nolan series. Doing some news, Mr. Nolan, what else is going on?
- [53:43]
Paul Nolan
So you sent me an article today from PJ Media, and it's titled the Imperial Order Is Finished and the US is Stepping in.
- [53:50]
Big D
Yeah, I saw this because of the Lloyds of London stuff, and you've been talking a lot about it and the shipping lanes and what's going on around the world. And so for a while, I've been
- [54:00]
Paul Nolan
talking about the Belt Road initiative and how important that old Silk Road is. You know, I've been really talking about it, I guess, since we first started the show. But I've been talking also about how Promethean action these. Susan Kakinda and Barbara Boyd and their team have done a great job of really, you know, given a historical view of how powerful, you know, the, the insurance agencies are and how they're connected to Wall street and, you know, in the city of London. So this is kind of it encapsulated. Let's cut through the noise. For centuries, the world's economy wasn't global. It was managed quietly, carefully, and out of London. Not with speeches, not with treaties, with insurance. Lloyds of London didn't need headlines because it had leverage. No insurance, no shipping. No shipping, no oil and no oil. Game is over. That was the system. And what just happened was the tension spiked in the Gulf. Shipping gets risky, and the institution that built its power on managing risk decides it doesn't like risk at all. Coverage gets pulled, prices explode, markets freeze. That's not a stress test. That is a system tapping out. And the second it does, the door swings open and enter Donald Trump in the United States. No hesitation, no committee meetings with no polite decline. The US Navy moves in and says, we'll guard the lanes. American insurers step in and say, we'll cover the ships. So let us simplify this for you. The US now controls the guns and the guarantees. And in the global trade, that is everything. Because power isn't just about force. It's about who makes commerce possible. For 300 years, the answer was London. Today, it is not. And because when pressure hits the old empire and it didn't reinforce its position. It reduced, reduced its exposure. And that's a fancy way of saying it backed off. When you hold an empire by stepping back, you hold it up by showing up. And Trump did exactly that, according Promethean. And a lot of these people who have really studied the global trade, if you want safe passage, talk to the U.S. navy. And if you want insurance, talk to American firms. And if you want your oil to move, you're operating inside the American system now, which I think think globally will end up giving us more dominance when it comes to, you know, controlling energy independence.
- [56:21]
Big D
So this is the article that was in European Business Magazine that, that kind of kicked off the article that I ended up sending you. And it was entitled How. How America took Lloyd's 300 year oil empire in just 48 hours. And they basically talk about how these. There's a fundamental shift now in the global power structure. It happened quietly, without a treaty signing or a military declaration buried beneath the noise of oil price headlines and diplomatic communications. But its implications for who controls the world's energy infrastructure and therefore the world economy are as significant as anything that has happened in the past three decades. For over 300 years, Lloyd's of London has underwritten maritime insurance for the tankers and cargo ships to carry the world's oil, gas and goods. Its dominance over the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow choke point through which approximately 30% of the world's seaborne oil supply passes, represented one of the most quietly powerful financial monopolies in history. Control the insurance and you control who can sail. Control who can sail and you control the flow of energy that powers the global economy. Within 48 hours of Lloyd's withdrawal, two things happened simultaneously after the vacuum that America stepped in to fill. The U.S. navy, operating through U.S. naval Forces Central Command, expanded its escort operations across the Gulf, effectively offering the physical protection that insurance underwrites. And American insurers began moving to replace Lloyd's coverage entirely, stepping into a market the British financial infrastructure had monopolized since the reign of William III. The Crown's 300 year chokehold on global energy insurance was severed not by war, not by sanctions, but by filling a vacuum created by an institution that blinked at the wrong moment.

Right on.

Paul Nolan
That's it. Right on. I mean, this like the global restructuring we're seeing. You know, I, I know FDR is a horrible analogy, but if the New World Order is coming and globalization is going to come and it's almost as inevitable, it's going to all run and operate through The US Is the way Trump sees. That's the way I'm seeing it unfold. And instead of having the city of London as the middleman of it all and the controlling agent all, I mean, they're at the cornerstone of all of these forever wars. We don't need them as a real ally anymore. We just need America to have its energy independence. I think the restructuring we're seeing is. Is happening. And I'm hoping that the Iranian thing is over soon, you know, because I was thinking today, what's the price limit on that war? Like, how much are you willing to spend on a war? Because no one ever talks about it that way. They're trying to get into, what, another $200 billion?
- [59:37]
Big D
Yeah, that's the number I saw today. There's also been a lot of posturing today by me, by the media, about. About true. About troops in this positioning and this messaging that I don't see coming from the White House. I mean, the president's either again playing 5D chess, because right after all day long, all you heard about was whether he's got a plan to put troops on the ground on the island. He comes out with this truth. Markets fall, all these things happen. And then at the end of the day, he puts out a truth saying, you know, I said three to four weeks. Next week is going to be the fourth week, and I think we're getting close to winding this thing down. So now. So now the discussion is. People are saying, is he. Is he fake posturing again to throw everybody off, and he's going to drop troops onto Carg island to sit there and protect it? Which.

Paul Nolan
You know, he was asked today on the opening word, though.
- [60:44]
Big D
He was asked today while he was waiting to leave with Marco Rubio to go down to Mar a Lago for the weekend. And someone asked him a question about that, and he said, well, if I told you the answer to that question, my military men would not be happy with me.
- [60:57]
Paul Nolan
Yeah.
- [60:57]
Big D
And of course, that makes everybody think, like, the answer has to be yes.
- [61:00]
Paul Nolan
Yeah.
- [61:01]
Big D
But it doesn't have to be yes.
- [61:02]
Paul Nolan
No, no. Listen, just be honest. He's. He's shrewd, he's cunning. If you sitting down in a business meeting with Donald Trump and your financial life was at stake, would you trust it? Would you. Would you take everything he said at work? No, you can't.
- [61:17]
Big D
All right. Thirteen past the hour. Live from Studio 6B. More to do. We're back on a Friday night. More sports and slick. More news with Paul, Aaron and Fran holding it down. We're back right after this.

Text America to 989-898. Again, text America to the number 989-898 and do it today. All right. Live from Studio 6B on a Friday night, 19 past the hour. Speaking of Gold and diversifying your portfolio. One of the reasons that you to you want to do that and look at hedging against inflation and other things we've talked about already tonight. But the main reason is when you look at the, the debt of this country, the fiscal operating debt of the country, it has now crossed over I believe 39, $39 trillion with a T. And former Senator Jim DeMint understands this better than most and he has a piece today called Fixing government waste and fraud. Starts with giving power back to the states. And the byline of this is the founders of this country would be astonished to know the federal government now regulates education, health care, finance, energy and practically every business in America. And that's when you think of the U.S. government. They're the biggest landlord, they're the biggest bank, they're the biggest collector, they're the, they're the biggest of every thing is federal iron fisted behemoth located in Washington
- [66:34]
Paul Nolan
D.C. yeah, it's the absolute antithesis of what America should be.
- [66:39]
Big D
Yep.
- [66:39]
Slickster
They didn't want that.
- [66:40]
Paul Nolan
The endless collusion of power. Right. The end. The endless merging of financial titans. You know the financial industrial complex is lockstep with the military industrial complex was in lockstep with the, you know, pharmaceutical industry.
- [66:57]
Big D
And, and
- [67:01]
Paul Nolan
it's like the fascists and the communists have been having sex for so long they bred an animal that we can't even put a label on it. So disgusting.
- [67:11]
Big D
So in this piece Senator DeMint talks about growing up and how in the 70s Japan started producing low cost, high quality automobiles and many other products that were superior to those manufactured in America. And how their secret was something called Total Quality Management. Tqm. It was the brainchild of American consultants Edward Deming and Joseph Juron, experts who had been ignored by arrogant manufacturing executives in the US and how he took this TQM and put it into his practice in the 1980s learned a lot how it could revolutionize companies including service companies like hospitals, universities. The concept was relatively simple but hard for old style executives to accept because it required giving up control and pushing decision making down to the people who were producing the products and providing the services. Giving up control is very difficult for executives and politicians. And he says the American Constitution created a flat that organizational structure with power and decision making pushed to the lowest level. And that would be us, the people. The management hierarchy at the federal level was divided into three control centers, three branches of government that were intended to balance and limit the power of the other branches. The executive, the legislative and the judicial. And in addition to dividing powers at the federal level. The Constitution left most of the decision making to the states and to you, the individual citizens. The writers of our Constitution would be astonished to know that today the federal government in Washington controls or regulates education, health care, retirement plans, energy production, workplace safety, environmental issues, and some part of practically every business in America. Our founders intended for the federal government to have limited and divided powers, while most governmental powers would be dispersed among the states and among the people. Instead, government power is now concentrated at the federal level level. And as predicted, as anyone could have predicted, that concentration at the top has led to what, what we see in Minnesota, what we've seen all over for years. Waste, fraud, corruption, poor quality of everything, high cost of services, inefficiency, debt, division and basically political paralysis, he says. Yet federal politicians, specifically politicians in the Democrat Party, are totally opposed to giving back back the power to the states and to you, the people. Even though the statistics confirm that the federal government is incapable of providing services efficiently, cost effectively, and without highest levels of waste and fraud, Democrats obstruct any effort to move decision making to the states and to the people. The reason for this obstruction is obvious. Democrats benefit politically by controlling the money, controlling the services, in using the leverage to manipulate voters on a national scale. Except for national defense, trade, immigration and border control, there are very few issues that states, private businesses and organizations, or individual Americans could not handle better than the federal government does. The fact that Democrats will not even consider decentralizing power on any issue, you should tell you everything you need to know. Voters need to wake up and start asking why, and Republicans need to be ready with better answers. And he's exactly right. Exactly right. Does this sound like Republican messaging? No, of course not. Big D messaging. All right, live from Studio 6. 26 past the hour.
- [71:32]
Paul Nolan
Get up to CPAC.
- [71:33]
Big D
We're back right after this.
- [71:34]
Slickster
Nah, you guys stay home.
- [72:19]
Big D
All right, 30 minutes past the hour. Last live from Studio 6B on a Friday night. Slicks doing sports. Paul Nolan's going to do some more news. Aaron and Fran holding it down as always. You'd live from Studio 6B audience we always appreciate wherever you're watching us from, whether it's on social media. Is Real America's voice listening on 1039 LI News Radio. Make sure you download the Real America's Voice app on all of your devices and of course, the live from Studio 6B app as well on all your devices, Android and Apple, available in both stores.

LFS6B's promo code to you, Slickster. What's going on?
- [73:01]
Slickster
All right, Big D. Kind of a mixed bag for the great state of Iowa right now as St. John's is pretty much pummeling them 77 to 53. That'd be Northern Iowa. However, Iowa has won 67, 61 over Clemson and they're advancing. So, like I said, mixed bag there, there. But St. John's looking really sharp. I know you were concerned about them traveling all the way out west, but they look really good tonight. Big d. Yeah. And UCLA is up 63.56 with 240 to go over UCF. Purdue 101, 67 over Queens, 111 to go there.
- [73:33]
Big D
When do my Huskies play?
- [73:34]
Slickster
The huskies play at 10 10. Big deal. They have the last game on the docket tonight and they tip off at 1010. They're taking on a powerhouse, Furman.
- [73:42]
Big D
Now, when would UConn and Duke meet? Cause I picked Duke. I mean, to win, because I just truly think. But obviously Yukon's my.
- [73:50]
Slickster
Probably an elite eight, right?
- [73:52]
Big D
Was that when they would meet?
- [73:53]
Slickster
Yeah, I would think that would be where it is. Yeah.
- [73:54]
Big D
So they're on. They're on the same side of the bracket.
- [73:56]
Slickster
I think they are. Yeah, that's. That's going to be. That'll be a great, great matchup if they both survive and get there. I mean, Furman could pull off a great upset tonight. We don't know.
- [74:05]
Paul Nolan
Furman sounds like a cop on Law and Order.
- [74:09]
Big D
Hey, Furman, what'd you think of that? You go out there, you're a disgrace
- [74:12]
Paul Nolan
to the force Fermi.
- [74:15]
Slickster
NBA action is another kind of basketball going on. Big D, that'd be the National Basketball association, where they get PA Paid big bucks. Well, I don't know. These nil kids, they're getting paid kind of like pro sports figures now. Knicks 75, 65 over the Nets, 11 to go there in the fourth. Did the Knicks have a shot this year? Do you think they have a shot?
- [74:31]
Big D
I will shot one NBA game, I would have no idea.
- [74:34]
Slickster
All right, nothing but anarchy, then. NBA, right? So warriors trail the Pistons 73 to 95. Pistons are looking good, especially with Cade Cunningham out. That's going to hurt them a little bit. 945 to go there in the fourth. Rockets over the Hawks 65, 56. Grizzlies over the Celtics, 64, 62, eight to go there in the third. Also in the third. Timberwolves trail the Trailblazers 74, 68 and Raptors in Nuggets 1917 Raptors leading that 225 to go in the first just underway. And Washington commanders who advocate for gay pride are now celebrating a Muslim holiday. The Commanders have enthusiastically promoted. I had a, you know, big deal. I had to get a couple extra.
- [75:11]
Big D
That is quite the headline actually.
- [75:13]
Slickster
Big day, you know. Aaron dissatisfied. I need a couple extra stories. I might have to carry you tonight because we didn't know Paul was going to be here. So I had to, you know, put a couple of stories in. Extra.
- [75:21]
Big D
Would you say you were going to carry me?
- [75:22]
Slickster
Yeah, I was going to carry you.
- [75:23]
Big D
Okay.
- [75:23]
Slickster
You know, that's a heavy load.
- [75:26]
Big D
Different.
- [75:28]
Slickster
Well, anyway, the Commanders have enthusiastically promoted gay causes on social media and now celebrate a religion that does not abide by same sex acts or unions. Kind of contradictory, right? Armando Salguero of Outcome Kick. Attention is in order for the Washington commanders who on Thursday evening celebrated on social media the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting with a shout out to Eid al Fitar. And with and with. That makes them perhaps the most conflicted NFL team. Lacking logical conviction on social media, which is saying a lot, the commanders wished everyone Eid Morbach, which loosely translates to Blessed Eid or Happy Eid, as part of the Muslim holiday that began at sundown Thursday and will be celebrated throughout the day on Friday. So what's the issue with this? Well, let's agree that in America the idea that Muslims get to celebrate their religious holiday isn't the issue. The Constitution guarantees religious freedom in America. But let's also argue that the same NFL team that is celebrating this Muslim holiday has for years also celebrated Pride Month and the LGBTQ community and the Capitol Pride parade in Washington D.C. so the team is kind of talking out of both sides of their mouth or something like that.
- [76:30]
Paul Nolan
But just so funny if a conservative takes a shot at gay marriage or trans people, they're the devil. A Muslim does it. They're like, well, that's their culture. How dare you be so insensitive, You Islama vobe Unbelievable.
- [76:45]
Slickster
And I just wanna get to this last story if I can. Yankees broadcast are uncomfortable with wrapping sports in the flag and preaching patriotism. Dylan Gwynn of Breitbart story I didn't get to last night, but Michael K. Yeah, Michael K. Yankees broadcaster Michael K. Doesn't believe that having military speakers or having Team USA athletes preachers, patriotism is the way to Go. During the recent World Baseball Classic, which we just talked about, a lot of viewers, Team USA manager Mark DeRosa and former Seal Team Six member Robert O', Neill, who shot Osama bin Laden, deliver a talk to the team before the game against Canada. In addition, team members Paul Skeens and Bryce Harper spoke openly about their pride in representing the US Case says that the dynamic leaves him feeling uneasy. The thing that makes me a little uneasy, I don't like wrapping sports in the flag and Peaches preaching patriotism and bringing in SEAL Team six people. The only uniform that counts to me is the one that's worn by men and women of our military, he said on ESPN New York radio. They decide wins and losses. You don't represent me because you have USA on the chest. I don't believe it. DeRosa explained his decision to invite O'. Neill. That was my decision to bring him in. DeRosa said via the defecta. He was brought in.
- [77:53]
Big D
Two things contradict each other.
- [77:54]
Slickster
Absolutely.
- [77:55]
Big D
He just said O' Neill served the country as a SEAL. Kill.
- [77:58]
Slickster
Killed.
- [77:58]
Big D
Yeah. He's the most famous one ever. He killed bin Laden.
- [78:01]
Slickster
Yeah. So obviously went on to justify it.
- [78:04]
Big D
But Michael K. Straight out of the MENSA meeting.
- [78:06]
Slickster
Yeah, exactly. As far as Kay is concerned, the people who really represent the United States are in the military. These are people that represent.
- [78:12]
Big D
But we don't need Robert o' Neill coming to speak to the.
- [78:15]
Slickster
He doesn't represent the military. Why? Because he's not active on active duty anyway. Yeah, well, Michael, you know, Yankees, big team, you know, so it cut four. Yes.
- [78:23]
Paul Nolan
The thing that makes me a little uneasy.
- [78:26]
Big D
Oh, here we go.
- [78:26]
Paul Nolan
And I'm going to run this. I don't like wrapping sports in a flag and like preaching patriotism and bringing in SEAL Team six people. I mean, the only uniform that counts to me are the ones that's worn by the men and women of our military. They decide wins and losses. You don't represent me because you have USA on the chest.
- [78:47]
Big D
I don't believe it.
- [78:48]
Slickster
No, Michael, I completely agree. He writes for the Daily snooze of what is happening in Venezuela now, Aaron, that, that, please.
- [79:01]
Big D
I can't take L. I can't take L anymore. He's another Imus tread throwback. That used to be great. And when Imus died, he just became. Showed his true colors of being an absolute nut job. Him and him and what's his name, our guy there.
- [79:18]
Paul Nolan
Rosenberg.
- [79:19]
Big D
Garville. James.
- [79:21]
Slickster
Ah.
- [79:21]
Big D
I mean that used to be great on there and now they're. Now they're just God. Unbearable.
- [79:26]
Slickster
What happened to Lupica?
- [79:27]
Big D
Lupica for is such a hater.
- [79:32]
Paul Nolan
Stand them.
- [79:32]
Big D
I mean, and K. Makes no sense. The whole statement makes literally no sense.
- [79:36]
Slickster
It's as contradictory as the commander story. Same thing.
- [79:41]
Big D
He said one thing and then he said the exact opposite in the next breath. Like, the only ones that matter are these guys. Okay, we're going to bring this guy who was doing that in. I don't.
- [79:49]
Slickster
I don't go for that.
- [79:50]
Big D
I don't go for that. What? Oh my God.
- [79:55]
Paul Nolan
It's like he's pandering to.
- [79:56]
Slickster
That is a. That is an emphatic rap on sports.
- [79:59]
Big D
Where was Michael Kid on like September. What was it when baseball came back to Yankee stadium after the September 11th of 2001? Like September 18th or something like that?
- [80:12]
Slickster
Yeah, yeah.
- [80:13]
Big D
What was it a month later? I thought it was about a week later. A month later when sports came back. I guess he didn't like any of that. Yeah, he didn't like the feeling in the. In, in the Yankee Stadium that night.
- [80:23]
Slickster
And George Bush threw out the first pitch.
- [80:24]
Big D
Yeah. When Bush came out there and the whole story about beating Jeter down the hallway and he said, you know, don't. Where are you going to throw it from? He said, I think I'm going to throw it from the mound.
- [80:32]
Paul Nolan
Baseball players with the NYPD and the fdny.
- [80:35]
Big D
I guess Case not into any of that.
- [80:36]
Slickster
Yeah, he's no Yankee Doodle Dandy, that's for sure.
- [80:38]
Paul Nolan
Well, we know the Internet doesn't forget. Let's hope somebody can come up with a clip of him sobbing like a baby at how fantastic it was.
- [80:45]
Slickster
Yeah, exactly.
- [80:46]
Big D
I mean, that is strange. Just strange when people say things like that, isn't it? I don't know why I like patriotism. Really. Why not? It's not good.
- [80:56]
Paul Nolan
100 if you love your country.
- [80:58]
Slickster
I wonder what was in his coffee when he had that interview. You.
- [81:00]
Big D
Man.
- [81:01]
Slickster
Man, oh, man.
- [81:02]
Big D
All right. 38 past the hour, Sports, brought to you by Mike Lynn. Paul Nolan, what else is on your news radar tonight?
- [81:08]
Paul Nolan
Federal bust of a massive meth super lab. Federal authorities have dismantled a large scale methamphetamine production operation in Northern California, seizing nearly 3,000 pounds of meth. Now, I'm not sure if this is right, but do they sell meth by the pound? From what I understand, like, it takes a little bit to get you wrecked. So £3,000 of meth. And it was in a lab in Calvaris County. Five Mexican nationals have been charged with the connection of the operation, according to federal prosecutors. And all five were here in the United States illegally. The charges include drug trafficking, conspiracy, manufacturing methamphetamine and firearm violations. Investigators say the site was not just a, a distribution point, but it was a full blown production facility capable of manufacturing meth in bulk quantities. The case stems from an investigation that began late in 2025 targeting a suspected trafficking operation in that region. When authorities executed the operation, they uncovered the large scale lab along with the drugs and weapons. According to officials, some defendants had previously been deported and reentered the United States. Way to go, Sleepy Joe. While others had been released into the country pending immigration proceedings. You know, they came here for an opportunity in America and they'll have an opportunity in federal prison with a view of a concrete wall forever.
- [82:43]
Big D
Yeah, I saw an article that, I think the headline was that overdose deaths under Trump so far are down about 20%. And obviously I think that I didn't read the article but I would assume it attributes a lot of that to closing the border and stopping things like this and drugs getting to our kids and on the streets accessibility.
- [83:04]
Paul Nolan
Yeah, we had the opioid crisis and then it became the Fentol crisis and it's like a response to the European wars. I mean they want to kill, they want to kill America.
- [83:15]
Slickster
One followed the other almost immediately.
- [83:17]
Big D
You're right. So I said, Paul's have some more news before we wrap. I, I said this yesterday when we were talking about Federman because Federman voted for Mark Wayne Mullen and he's done obviously other things. He's been outspoken and I think I said in yesterday's show that he'll be the number one target of the Democrats to take out because he's, he's too, too far to the center and he's, and he's not by the way to the center at all but compared to the rest of the party. Well, I see today out in our friends over at right Scoop headline CNN reveals just how unpopular John Fetterman has become in his home state. This is our guy Harry Anton revealed this morning that Fetterman has gone from rock star status in his polling numbers to incredibly unpopular by the people in Pennsylvania. Here is, here is Harry Aaron Roland
- [84:12]
Slickster
that part of a larger story, Mr. Berman. I would just say that John Fetterman is doing as well with Pennsylvania Democrats as the New York Giants are as like than the state of Pennsylvania or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. I mean just look at this among Pennsylvania Democrats and that approval of fetterman back in 2023 he was a democrat liberal darling. He was at plus 68 points. Look at how low he has fallen down to negative 40 points. He's down there with, with the Titanic among Democrats in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. And you know, put a comparison point on, you know, we always talk about how Chuck Schumer is not well liked by the Democratic base nationwide. Chuck Schumer has a net popularity rating of about -2 points. He is 38 points more popular than John Fetterman is with Pennsylvania Democrats. And I was also looking at Kyrsten Sinema who of course ended up leaving the Democratic party in Arizona. She was conservatively more popular, John, just before she shifted over. Then John Fetterman is at minus 40 points.
- [85:06]
Big D
This is 108 point swing.
- [85:07]
Slickster
This is an 108 point swing. Very good mathematics here. This is, I mean, I, I was honestly thinking, is that even possible? Bottom line is this John Fetterman, when you look, when you look at his net popularity rating at -40 points, he's on a completely other planet from Chuck Schumer who is also unpopular and he is on a different galaxy entirely from other incumbents who actually lost reelection. Far less popular than that.
- [85:35]
Big D
I'm not buying, I don't buy it either. Not one bit of it. And let's hope that's not right in a state that is supposed to be a swing state. Not so.
- [85:43]
Paul Nolan
Yeah. Polls are not meant to reflect what people feel. They had to tell you how to feel.
- [85:49]
Big D
All right, we'll wrap it up for a Friday and for another week right after this.
- [85:53]
Slickster
Live from Studio 6B, Sam.
- [86:27]

All right, Big D. Just one game still going on now before the final three tonight that are going to tip off at 9:50 and 10 o' clock clock, we got UCF trailing UCLA 71, 65 with 28 seconds to go. So I think they're down by six. That might be over there.
- [87:23]
Big D
UCF in that game.
- [87:24]
Slickster
Did you really. I took ucla.
- [87:26]
Big D
Ucla. They've had such a weird. I think I did. Yeah.
- [87:30]
Slickster
All right, well, Knicks. Knicks are having a tough game against the Nets. And Nets are not a good team, obviously, this year. 84, 83 with five minutes to go in the fourth. So up. Actually, check that. The Nets just went up by one. But I think that the Knicks will pull that out. And let's see. Grizzlies and Celtics. And a good one too, too. Out in Memphis. Memphis leads 77, 75. And. Well, we'll get to a couple of quick stories, if I may.
- [87:52]
Big D
Yeah, I took ucf.
- [87:53]
Slickster
Oh, that's. Yeah, well, you bombed on that one.
- [87:55]
Big D
Yeah.
- [87:56]
Slickster
Yeah. What are you gonna do? You can't win them all, Big D. You know, you're. What are you in first place now? Third place. Aaron Whiz. Where's Big D now?
- [88:02]
Big D
I'm. I'll tell you where I am right now. I am in first.
- [88:07]
Slickster
Not for long, though. You're going to blow this game here. So that's it. They're going to drop down after that.
- [88:12]
Big D
Yeah.
- [88:13]
Slickster
So we go.
- [88:13]
Big D
Thanks.
- [88:14]
Slickster
Well, I just, you know, I'm sticking
- [88:16]
Big D
with the fact Aaron couldn't run into my office fast enough today to tell me that I wasn't in first.
- [88:20]
Slickster
Could.
- [88:21]
Big D
I was going to run in 20
- [88:22]
Paul Nolan
minutes earlier and then I actually got
- [88:23]
Slickster
dizzy and had to sit back down.
- [88:24]
Big D
So I did have to have you looked at the brackets. And I knew right away. Said it.
- [88:30]
Paul Nolan
And I literally got up and started
- [88:31]
Big D
running and realized you were on the phone.
- [88:33]
Paul Nolan
So then I had to go back in my office.
- [88:35]
Big D
She couldn't have more joy to come tell me me and I'm a loser. Yep.
- [88:41]
Slickster
I think I just climbed up a little bit with that ucla.
- [88:44]
Paul Nolan
I'm no psychologist, but I'm sensing disapproval.
- [88:47]
Slickster
Yeah. Yeah.
- [88:48]
Big D
She just doesn't want me to win because she knows what it would mean.
- [88:50]
Slickster
Oh, would be. Well, we saw last night. We got a little.
- [88:52]
Big D
Yeah, we saw a little bit last night. It was a never ending gloat.
- [88:55]
Slickster
Yeah, right. He had more gloat than a Memorial Day float.
- [88:59]
Big D
Hey, Rick Delgado's up to sixth. Yeah, well, that would be worse than even me winning.
- [89:04]
Slickster
No, he'll tank. He's got a loud.
- [89:06]
Big D
You better start pulling for me, Aaron, if you. Unless you want him I wonder if
- [89:09]
Paul Nolan
it was a pre made bracket like
- [89:11]
Big D
how he does those pre made bets. I wonder if someone else made it for him.
- [89:14]
Slickster
No. Yeah. A parlay Delgado parlay. Pat McAfee blasts potential high school refs as NFL ways replacement officials during labor talks. You believe we might get these lousy refs, that we have these filling guys that don't know anything. Chance Martin of Fox News, the NFL Referees association and the league remain locked in negotiations over a new CBA collective bargaining agreement. If talks grow contentious and extend into the coming months, the league could again turn to replacement referee until a deal is reached. Possibility first reported by Pro Football Talk. Now we have cut five with Pat McAfee talking about what this would be. And Pat, you know, he's got some street cred. He was a punter for the Colts back in the day. So he's played the game and he talks to talk and walks the walk. Pat McAfee cut five. Aaron.
- [89:57]
Paul Nolan
Nope, can't be doing that.
- [90:00]
Big D
Can't be doing that.
- [90:02]
Paul Nolan
What we need is these refs to understand that they're not perfect. We want them to them to adapt with the modern technology. We want them to be for the good of the game, not just for the good of each other.
- [90:12]
Big D
Okay.
- [90:13]
Paul Nolan
Come on, refs. We need you, but we also need you not to be ass in the biggest moments. We need you to care about the game. We need you to have a little bit of feel.
- [90:29]
Big D
Yeah.
- [90:29]
Paul Nolan
We need you to be committed to what. What ball is. And there's a lot of you out there that are, and we appreciate that.
- [90:41]
Slickster
Yeah. He's having coffee.
- [90:42]
Paul Nolan
You're going to let ball have high school games.
- [90:46]
Slickster
All right, Aaron, you take care of Pat. And just one last quick one. NASCAR driver William Byron takes a Zamboni for a joyride. Cut six. Aaron, let's show him what. What the old NASCAR driver did driving his Zamboni. He decided to do donuts on the ice. We know that. That's like, so. I think I saw Harry doing donuts list when the snowplow was out there. Look at this. I love it.
- [91:08]
Paul Nolan
What game was that?
- [91:09]
Slickster
This is nascar. That was probably Carolina, right? That. Yeah, he was doing donuts. Victory lane donuts. Yeah. Carolina Hurricanes and piss words. Penguins in rally. That was earlier this week.
- [91:19]
Big D
Okay.
- [91:19]
Slickster
All right. It's a wrap.
- [91:20]
Big D
Big D. Well, so right now, big D's in first.
- [91:23]
Slickster
Oh, gosh.
- [91:25]
Big D
I mean, slicks at 25th. And Delgado's in six right now. And I don't know where you guys are. Aaron and Fran, for the Control room.
- [91:33]
Slickster
This is the first round, so this is 66.
- [91:38]
Big D
Okay, not bad, not bad.
- [91:39]
Slickster
You moved up. You were 79.
- [91:41]
Big D
Very respectable. Earlier today I was like 114. Okay, so you're on the move. Everybody's on the move. The right way. We're on the move. I, I would be on the move in the right way, but you can't go any higher than I am, so we'll just leave it at that. So. All right, Paul. No. Got a little more news. Mr. Nolan, what else you got on your news radar tonight?
- [91:58]
Paul Nolan
Just to the back end of that thing.
- [91:59]
Slickster
I don't doubt it.
- [92:00]
Paul Nolan
Fudging numbers over there.
- [92:01]
Slickster
He just lost it. He was still, he's still in first place. He just lost the game.
- [92:04]
Big D
Thank you. That just shows you how good I was in the first 12 games. I could lose the game and stay in first.
- [92:10]
Slickster
Okay, Ralph, Brandon. Oh.
- [92:14]
Big D
All right, Paul, what else is on your news right now?
- [92:15]
Paul Nolan
So there's a latest poll here that found voters overwhelmingly think college isn't worth it. A national online poll poll of 1500 adults asked whether a four year college degree is worth it. 59 said, no, not honey, listen up, honey, 24% said it's worth it. You know, I could do a little Harry Anthony and next thing you know, you know, he's taking his, you know what. But 55% choose a skilled trade or a vocational path. 22% four year college. 9% said they didn't enter the workforce. And 14% said, I don't know what the heck I want to do and
- [92:52]
Big D
said, open a fanduel account.
- [92:54]
Paul Nolan
Yeah, but this was now across all different demographics was conservative, moderates, liberals, no politically charged people involved in this at all. And they did also amongst younger people. And younger people were almost in line. It was 55%. So pretty wild here that the veneer is off the whole college.
- [93:16]
Big D
Yeah, I mean, they've made it that way. You can't argue. There's no, there's no honest way to argue that a four year college degree is worth it today. There's just no way. I don't care where it's from. I mean, I get it. If you want to be a teacher, you have to go. I get it. There's a couple that you just, you have to do it.
- [93:35]
Paul Nolan
But the system is just rigged. They wanted kids to buy a home and get into the bank, get a loan, get a 30 year mortgage, mortgage. But instead of like, oh, we don't even have to give you any collateral, or NASA, we'll give you a dream and give us 180,000 bucks and, and finance it for 25 or 30 years. And they found a way to SAP the interest out of the kids before they even had a chance to buy a home. It's just a rig job.
- [93:58]
Big D
Yeah. And speaking of this, I'm not going to have time to do the whole thing, but it just gets into what I said before. When you're talking about Birch Gold. We were Talking about Jim DeMint's fine piece today with the Federalist. And that is the national debt is now over 30, $49 trillion.
- [94:14]
Paul Nolan
Does it cost to service that a year?
- [94:18]
Big D
I don't, I don't even know at this point what it is, but it's 125% of GDP. 125% of GDP. My gold is the US national debt.
- [94:29]
Paul Nolan
Buy a house.
- [94:31]
Big D
Is that actually live or. That's a. That's a snapshot of it. That's live. That's a live shot of the US if you want to just, just have your stomach churn as you can look at that and see how quickly the numbers move. And of course, federal law does not allow states to declare bankruptcy to prevent fiscal collapse. Of course, 49 out of 50 states operate under some form of balanced budget requirement. While state and local debt right now is $3.3 trillion under 11% of GDP. At the federal level, 39,125% of GDP. The debt can is going to get harder and harder to keep kicking down the road. All right, as always, we salute our military, active and active. Police, firefighters, first responders, EMTs, everybody on the front lines. Thanks guys on the show. Aaron, Fran, great job as always. Most of all, thank you. Live from Studio 6B. Audience, another great week. If you're on the live from Studio 6B app, stay with us. We're gonna stick with you for a little OT right now.
