---

Election Integrity & Voter Rolls

(34:04–41:40)

• Panel decries both mail-in voting and machine vulnerabilities, feeling reforms are overdue:

  “If anyone thinks the 2020 election wasn't a rigged job, they're just flat out crazy.” – Paul Nolan (36:28)

---

Trump’s “Warrior Dividend,” Drug Prices, & Policy Analysis

(42:03–45:51)

• Announces plans for major prescription drug price cuts, referencing “most favored nation” pricing and “TrumpRx.gov.”

  “If something’s $100 and you lower it by 100%, what’s the cost?...How, how do you…if you reduce it 400%, do they pay YOU?”

(54:39–58:07)

  “Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent. That's Adam Smith quote.” – Paul Nolan (55:49)

• Discussion of public “psy-ops," media manipulation, and failure to prosecute, especially regarding election fraud or high-profile left-leaning suspects.

---

Pop Culture: Rosie O'Donnell & “Trump Derangement Syndrome”

(101:01–103:43)

(69:53–76:47)

  “This is one of those things that, you know, mostly would go under the wayside if you didn't know about this, but it's also one of the reasons that, you know, if we're going to put the stake through the heart of this thing, things like this can't be allowed to live.” (76:11)

---

Panel Debate: Hollywood, CIA, and Psy-Ops

(111:48–117:14)

• Kevin Downey Jr. and Paul Nolan review the viral Rob Reiner video on Trump-Russia “collusion,” arguing over whether Reiner is a knowing participant (“asset”) or a “useful idiot.”

[Sponsor Announcer]

On Real America's Voice.

[Host]

Hi. Live from Studio 6 beyond Real America's Voice on a Monday, December 22nd, 8pm on the East Coast. Like I said, real America's Voice. Glad you're in, everybody. Slick's gonna do some sports. Slickster, you're here. Looking good as always. How are you? I'm doing good, Big D. How was your weekend?

[Big D]

Well, I had had a funeral for the Cowboys yesterday afternoon, that's for sure.

[Host]

Always leading with the Cowboys.

[Big D]

Yeah. And no, it was a nice weekend. You know, remembered my dad. It was his birthday. It would have been his 80th birthday yesterday. So, you know, that was a somber moment. But, yeah, a good weekend, though. It was. It's a crazy time of year, but it's rough when you lose somebody this time of year as well. Sure, a lot of people know that.

[Host]

Yeah. Well, if it makes you feel any better, you lost your team about eight weeks ago, so don't.

[Big D]

That's true.

[Host]

Yesterday.

[Paul Nolan]

I think it was somewhere in the 90s, actually.

[Big D]

Yeah, which. Which ties into that Jane Slater story. Who covers the Cowboys? They said she was dead. And I said, no, I think they got a mistake with the team because.

[Host]

They'Ve been dead for three weeks or 13. But, yeah, very good.

[Big D]

30 years.

[Host]

All right, Slick's gonna have some sports recap. The odds makers. I have no idea who did what there, so we'll get into that. Paul Nolan's here. He's gonna do some news. Mr. Nolan, how are you?

[Paul Nolan]

I'm good, buddy. I'm good. I walked in.

[Host]

You like your sweater?

[Paul Nolan]

This is my Christmas look.

[Host]

Love it.

[Paul Nolan]

Trying to be like it looks like I shot a sheep and spray paint and some grace on it. But I. KDJ was coming in, and I'm coming in. He looked a little studious with his. With his fancy sweater. Yeah, Jacket.

[Big D]

His sweater trumped yours.

[Paul Nolan]

I said. I said we look at a couple of English professors. He goes until we speak.

[Host]

Well, that's a good point.

[Paul Nolan]

So here's to being a meathead.

[Host]

And there the aforementioned sitting to my left, sitting in tonight for one Rick Delgado, which we'll get to here in a second is The Kevin Downey Jr. The host of the Kevin Downey Jr. Show heard all across the world 9 to 11 weekday mornings on LI News Radio. What's going on, Mr. Downey, Jr.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Pleasure to be here, Big D. It's a. You know what? I'm trying to find out how cold it has to be before you put shoes On.

[Host]

Okay.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

We're not there yet.

[Host]

We're not there yet. No.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Do you know an average is like 10 below?

[Host]

Well, when there was snow on the ground. No, it's. It's. That's it.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

But what about with no snow?

[Host]

No. No temperature.

[Paul Nolan]

Really?

[Host]

Yeah.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

You know, so in Michigan, you got these guys when it gets up to 20 degrees, they put their shorts on.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Because, well, it's Michigan. And again, we're meatheads. But I'm afraid you're gonna get frostbite. You won't even know it.

[Host]

No, I'm just moving from the, you know, car to the studio. Studio to car. Car to inside.

[Big D]

That's true. If you get stuck on the side of the road, though, you're gonna have a problem. You have to foot that medical bill.

[Host]

Yeah. So. But your sweater does trump. Hahaha. Balls. It looks. Thank you. What does it say at the top? Make Christmas great again. There you go. Look at that thing.

[Paul Nolan]

Nice.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

I. I watched a salad dodger at Thanksgiving last year with us.

[Host]

You what?

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

I walked a salad dodger from Thanksgiving dinner. They're asking us what we're grateful for. And I had allegedly just dodged federal prison. And I went, trump, this Canadian fatty acid who just. He just heard Trump. He goes, nope. And stormed out of Thanksgiving dinner. It was great.

[Host]

Really?

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

That's right.

[Host]

Imagine doing that. So. All right, well, Kevin's gonna have some news because Kevin's sitting in for one Rick Delgado, who is celebrating a birthday.

[Big D]

Yes, he is.

[Host]

Should we want to. We don't want to sing to him. Right. Because he's not here.

[Big D]

Nah, we'll get him tomorrow night. We'll get him up elated.

[Host]

Happy birthday to Rick Delgado. Yeah. Who's out tonight. Where'd he go? Tellers.

[Big D]

He went to tell us he's gonna tell her to pay. That's what I told you.

[Paul Nolan]

As usual.

[Host]

Yeah. So. And of course, I tweeted out before because the Department of Justice just when. Just when Rick thought he was going to have a nice relaxing dinner and go to dinner, the Department of Justice decided to release a video of Epstein supposedly trying to kill himself all alone in his cell. And I thought, man, Delgado just couldn't even get out to just one birthday dinner and relax. Now he's going to be sitting there pondering. Pondering that.

[Big D]

And you wrote, check, please. And I said, he's not paying that check.

[Paul Nolan]

Don't worry.

[Host]

So anyways, well, there we go. So we got lots to get to. But right now, let's start the show with getting to tonight's. First word. Well, you know, it's been said that the best predictor of future behavior, well, is past behavior. If you want to know what your neighbor is going to do tomorrow, pay attention to what he's already done. Someone once said, know your enemy. If you want to avoid the peril of a battles. Well, we're in the middle of those battles right now and it's high time we stopped pretending otherwise. Just look at what happened over the course of a single day this month across the West. It's like a rerun of the same nightmare script. Two Muslims go on a rampage and murder at least 15 people at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney. Five more Muslims getting arrested in Germany for plotting to blow up a Christmas market. French authorities have to cancel a concert in Paris because of credible threats from Islamic terrorists. And right here in our own backyard, two Iowa National Guardsmen get murdered in Syria by an Islamist thug while they were over there playing footsies with some illegitimate regime. And that's not even touching on some of the other recent atrocities. Like I said, the massacre of Jews in Australia, the butchery of Christians in Nigeria, the shootings at Brown University campus. Hey, maybe it's time we acknowledge what we know about this enemy that's hell bent on destroying us. Daniel Horowitz today said in his very fine column at the Blaze. None of this represents an anomaly. It represents the accumulated failure of a strategy best summarized as this. He says, quote, invade the Muslim world. Invite the Muslim world. We've spent the better part of a generation importing millions of migrants from these unstable hellholes while sending our own brave soldier soldiers over there to babysit their sectarian civil wars. The contradiction is staring us in the face. We accept the risks of mass migration at home while risking our troops abroad to contain the very same ideologies. Islamist movements don't respect borders, whether they're Sunni or Shia operating in Syria or Europe or right here in North America. Their targets are always the same Jews, Christians, secular institutions and Western civil society. But our so called leaders treat these as isolated incidents instead of the expression of a coherent, deadly ideology. From the carnage of 10-7-23 to the horrors back on 9 11, to the thwarted plots to bomb Los Angeles and Christmas festivals across Europe. Maybe, just maybe, it's time to be honest about what's right in front of our eyes. Our enemy is telling us exactly who they are, what they believe and what they intend to do to us. And who is the enemy? Well, put simply, it's Islam. Now before you liberals out there start screaming Islamophobia from your safe space. Remember, a fear isn't irrational or phobic if it's based on cold, hard facts. We've been reassured a thousand times that Islam just means submission to God. Sounds harmless, right? Especially to those of us with Christian sympathies. But shouldn't we look at how the Quran itself defines that submission and what it instructs its followers to do? The Quran is crystal clear. All Muslims must work to convert Christians, Jews and everyone else to Islam and kill those who refuse. This is the Muslim worldview right there in black and white. Only the blind, the foolish and the dumb ignore an enemy who explicitly says he's going to kill you and your neighbors and then goes out and does it, horowitz continues today. Nowhere in this incoherence is it more stark than in Syria. On one hand, the Trump administration is moving towards normalizing relations with this new leadership. In June, President Trump signed an executive order terminating US Sanctions on Syria, including on its central bank, all in the name of reconstruction and investment. Last month, Syria's new leader, a former Al Qaeda big shot who's rebranded himself as some kind of statesman, waltzes into the White House, where Trump praises the developments and says he's very satisfied with Syria's direction. And get this, the US Is now even floating the idea of a permanent US Military base in Damascus to solidify our presence and prop up this new government. So we're embedding our troops deeper into one of the most volatile snake pits on earth, putting American soldiers at the mercy of a regime whose leaders and allies were jihadists like five minutes ago, accused of massacring Christians. At the same time, the White House is pressuring Israel to limit its defensive ops in southern Syria, including that buffer zone along the Golan Heights, even though the Israelis are doing a bang up job of degrading these jihadist threats without losing their own people. America risks lives to stabilize an Islamist adjacent regime while tying the hands of the one ally who actually enforces order. And the contradiction gets even deeper when you throw in our immigration policy. Syria is still one of the most unstable dumps on the planet with no reliable vetting. But we're admitting Syrian migrants hand over fist while keeping 800 US troops inside Syria with no clear mission, no end in sight, and supply lines that are sitting ducks. The truth is, it doesn't matter which Islamic country they're from, how friendly their government is to us, or the tribal mess back home when they cluster in large numbers form their own communities run by Muslim Brotherhood outfits. They're incompatible with the west, period. The problem is Islam itself, fueled by mass migration and subversion pushed by people like the Muslim Brotherhood through places like Qatar and Turkey. This conf. This conflict isn't just about Jews. They're the first target, but not the last. Islamist ideology goes after all non Muslims and any society that won't submit. The west has to decide, defend our civilization or keep subsidizing its destruction through mass migration without assimilation, foreign entanglements without a strategy and alliances that buy our silence. Instead of building up Syria, risking our troops lives and appeasing enemies in Qatar, why not pull out? Let Israel handle regional security. They're the pros at it while we slam shut our own borders to this. As Kevin Downey Jr says Religion of pieces. Protecting America requires clarity. End immigration from jihadist incubators, dismantle Islamist networks here at home. The withdraw the troops from these unwinnable secretarian swamps and empower allies who actually fight our enemies. Anything less isn't compassion or smart foreign policy. It's criminal negligence. Worldviews matter. Some are enemies of life and freedom and we ignore that difference at our own peril. And that's tonight's first word.

[Paul Nolan]

Well, don't you know diversity is our strength, Big D. Oh, yeah, that's what we were told to believe. Oh, wait, you're an Islamophobia. You have. You're afraid of spiders and people who blow up.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Well, listen to the colonizer over here. You're 100% right.

[Paul Nolan]

It's not phobia. That's the.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

I know.

[Paul Nolan]

That's the word salad they use just to make you feel guilty for not liking the way they have done everything in their power to just disrespect all western culture.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

My favorite is you're transphobic. I've never feared a man in a dress unless I drank a lot and was confused.

[Big D]

Then I just soiled myself, which happens often.

I don't know. My wife's gonna come with me too. I'm gonna bring her in the studio. Oh, Luanne's gonna be here.

[Host]

Okay. Come on. All right. Very good. All right. So that'll be tomorrow night. Yeah.

[Big D]

Tell us is great though. You're right. Great stakes.

[Host]

Very nice place. So I hope Rick has a nice dinner tonight.

[Paul Nolan]

Three cosmos for you.

[Big D]

No.

[Host]

No, you don't.

[Big D]

No, I. No, I do. That blue drink, it's not a Cosmo, but it's blue. Curacao vanilla or Stoli? Blueberry and cranberry, straight up, equal parts.

[Paul Nolan]

All right. It was blue.

[Host]

Beautiful. It's pretty fruity.

[Big D]

Anyways, I've been accused of that.

[Host]

Oh, Aaron says it's good. Do you have it? Aaron? Oh, Aaron's had it before. Okay.

[Big D]

Yeah, she's been around. She knows.

[Host]

All right, Aaron, 18 past the hour, live from Studio 6B. Let's do some sports. Since it's that time. Sports is brought to you by our friend Mike Lindell, who first poll out that I saw right now says Mike Lindell is going to win the governorship of Minnesota over the Republican nomination. I guess that'd be great. The primary. I think I saw a poll out so good numbers right off the jump for Mike. Which is not surprising given that Mike Lindell. When we think of Mike Lindell MyPillow, first thing you think about is that they're there from there, obviously. Besides great products.

[Big D]

Yep, exactly.

[Paul Nolan]

And fearless.

[Host]

Not surprising there.

[Big D]

So I go there once a year.

[Host]

But they sponsor sports. LFS6P is the promo code to use if you're still shopping at MyPillow. Slickster. What's going on?

[Big D]

So, Big D, you may recall that the odds makers literally got trumped.

[Host]

Oh, that's right.

[Promo Announcer]

We didn't.

[Big D]

Even with the president speaking and you know, TPUSA and everything, we did not do in odds makers last week, unfortunately we had a break stride with that. But we do have an odds maker tonight. Actually the game just kicked off. I don't even see the score yet. It's 8:19. It kicked up four minutes ago. Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Score 00. Aaron just told me. And we've got to pick an odds makers. You have the San Francisco 49ers visiting the Indianapolis Colts on a Monday night football game. Big D. And we got to do our pick for odds makers.

[Host]

So I'm going to. Well, let's do it. Little mini odds makers. Since we didn't do it Friday. I totally forgot about that. Got to get back on track last week. So I was wondering why I couldn't think of what was going on. Well, that's why. Because there was no odds makers. Slick. Who are you going to go with this in this game?

[Big D]

Well, you know what? I'm going to go with the 49ers. They look like the team tonight. I mean they, they're looking to, you know, keep pace with the Rams and Seattle in that NFC west, that highly contested NFC West. Indianapolis obvious lost their quarterback. Daniel Jones for the year was having a career season. They got 44 year old Philip Rivers. I think he's going to have his hands full with a blitzing San Francisco 49er defense on a fast carpet. I see Brock Purdy throwing a lot of passes. Christian McCaffrey having a great night catching them. And I see the 49ers probably rolling this game pretty good. Even though Indianapolis is desperate, they're trying to hold on to a wild card spot because the AFC south is already long gone. Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans have control of that. So on a short, give me, give me the Niners tonight, minus four for.

[Host]

Slickster Aaron, what are you doing here?

[Commercial Announcer]

I think I'm gonna go against Slick here and I'm gonna take old man river plus four and a half and I'm gonna go with the Colts. Like like Slick said, it's basically now or never for the Colts. But honestly when you think about what happened last week with Philip Rivers, he only had three days to get the playbook ready to and he. They almost went and beat the Seahawks which are obviously in the playoffs now. And I think that they do have the chance maybe not to win at home but I do think they have the chance to at least cover because the 49ers are not that good on the road against a spread this play pick.

[Host]

Okay. All right. So Aaron's going to take the points. Looks going to lay the points.

[Big D]

Yep.

[Host]

And that's your Monday night odds makers and we don't have our nodes makers to recap because we didn't do one Friday so.

[Big D]

No, we did not. We hopefully we'll get back on track. This. This.

[Host]

No, well actually we will do one this Friday.

[Paul Nolan]

That's a burn for you because you kind of getting hot making a comeback there, right?

[Big D]

Not really. Aaron. Aaron had a good weekend. Right. Last week too. So I'm having. I'm trying to make a comeback and catch him back. I'm about eight games behind, nine games.

[Paul Nolan]

Behind fourth lose a week with that kind of.

[Big D]

You're right.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

You're right.

[Host]

Aaron kind of strategized that a little bit. So let's slow him down here.

[Paul Nolan]

Too smart.

[Commercial Announcer]

It wasn't my decision.

[Big D]

I hate to say looking at the games, I probably wouldn't.

[Paul Nolan]

She's not just a pretty face. She's big.

[Big D]

No, absolutely not.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

You're right.

[Host]

Well, what else is going on?

[Big D]

Well, let's talk about some of the other games. Big D. I mean the Eagles and Commanders. Eagles obviously clinching the NFC East 2918 win over the Commanders. Phenomenal overtime game. I don't know if you caught that Saturday night the Bears and the Packers 22 to 16. Bears tie that game up right at the end there and beat the Packers. Packers in overtime. What a fantastic game that was. Detroit and Pittsburgh. Kevin, I don't know what to say. That was some finish. I'm sure you watched that. They fell 29, 24 to the steals and they needed that game. Detroit has to win out the next three games to make a wild card spot and they need a little help from their friends.

[Host]

I'm just reminded by someone in the chat. I forgot. I'm sorry. I didn't see the name because it flew by. But we need to do an odds makers tomorrow. You and Aaron, you got to pick Christmas. Christmas Day games get like. Can't not pick those games. Yeah, we can pick three games on Thursday.

[Commercial Announcer]

I was thinking about that.

[Host]

Yeah, you have to pick those tomorrow night.

[Big D]

I got to pick that Cowboy game for sure.

[Commercial Announcer]

So whatever will you pick?

[Host]

Dallas at Washington. Dallas minus six and a half on the road at Washington at six, eight and one on the year.

[Big D]

Yeah, well, they're probably not even going to stop to play their starters. They're. They're playing for nothing.

[Host]

Washington 4 and 11.

[Big D]

What happens at home.

[Host]

But we'll do that tomorrow.

[Big D]

But speak. Yeah, okay. Speaking of the Detroit Pittsburgh game, big news coming out of that game was that Lions fan and getting into it with DK Metcalf. I don't know if you guys saw that. That was all over that went viral and video showing we have that. We'll have the cut. We'll play that in a second. But Lions fan reveals what he said to DK Metcalf before receiver swung on him Dylan Gwynne at Breitbart the blue wig wearing Lions fan. Is that a friend of yours, Kevin, over there in Detroit? Probably maybe not with a blue wig though. Found himself on the receiving end of a punch from Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf. Has revealed that he's what he said to the star wideout moments before the attack.

[Commercial Announcer]

Attack.

[Big D]

Towards the end of the first half as the Lions were driving into Pittsburgh territory, Metcalf got into a spat with a fan wearing a Honolulu blue wig. Honolulu would be the color of the jersey for Detroit if those who don't know Metcalf pulled the fan toward him and threw a punch. Run cut four. Aaron, just show us that cut there if you can and then we'll get into the rest of this.

[Host]

DK Metcalf mixing up with someone in the stands.

[Big D]

Oh my gosh.

[Host]

That.

[Big D]

Oh my God.

[Commercial Announcer]

Not.

[Big D]

I wouldn't say that was exactly a. I mean, I think Jake Paul was throwing heavier punches on Friday night three.

[Paul Nolan]

After he got hit. Play that again, DK Matt. Does he throw his hands up like in victory stands?

[Big D]

Oh my gosh. Yeah, that really. You know, that wasn't. Wasn't terrible. But still, you know, like.

[Paul Nolan]

Like I trolled. Successfully, apparently.

[Big D]

What set him more possibly.

[Host]

What a active player in a game be that close in talking to someone in the stands.

[Big D]

That is crazy. Yeah, that is great. And during a game, no less. It wasn't like it was before this the game. And here's what was said. He said. He asked him. He said what? He said to him what My full name is D. Kaelin Zacharias Metcalfe. That's what this fan, Lions fan Ryan Kennedy called him. He doesn't like his government name. I called him that. And then he grabbed me and ripped my shirt. I'm a little shocked. Like everyone talking to me. I'm a little rattled. But I just want the Lions to win, baby. Alas, Lions did not win. Obviously, we talked about that earlier. ESPN NFL reporter Adam Scheff reported that the league will indeed upon open an investigation into the incident, one that will undoubtedly leave Metcalf a little lighter in his wallet. Now, no flag was thrown on that play, so there is some discrepancy there as well. When a flag isn't thrown, does the league get involved or not? I think the league has to get involved. You know, Paul, I think you felt right that the guy probably deserved it. Wisen off to him.

[Host]

But, you know, anyone who believes that that guy said whatever you quoted is dreaming. There's no way that's all he said.

[Big D]

Well, that's what he.

[Promo Announcer]

That's.

[Big D]

That's what the fans.

[Paul Nolan]

I honestly just assumed even if he didn't use the no, no word Metcalf's gonna say he used the no, no word.

[Host]

He already has.

[Big D]

Yeah.

[Host]

Said he said something about his mom using a word you're not supposed to use and then use that word on him that he's not supposed to use and that's why he went off.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, I think the fans in the area around that would know what was said. But either way, just. There's got to be. We live in the no punched in the face culture. Yeah, there should be. Everyone should talk to other men. Like there's a chance you'd get slugged in the mouth.

[Big D]

And that was a more of a push. It wasn't like, like I said, Jake, Paul was throwing heavier punches.

[Host]

You just. You can't be over there if you're a dk. I mean, you can't. The kid said that he deserves to get smacked, but you still can't be over there in the first place.

[Big D]

Got to stay away.

[Paul Nolan]

Go.

[Big D]

Stay out of it. Stay away from the fans.

[Paul Nolan]

I mean, it's all funny to me.

[Host]

26 past the hour. Live from Studio 6B, we'll do some news. Kevin Downey Jr.

We'll get back to sports with Slick. Let's do some news. Poll Nolan's got it. Mr. Nolan, what's going on?

[Paul Nolan]

Well, hard me, Dylan, the assistant attorney general for the Justice Department Civil Rights Division, says the lawsuit she's bringing against both red and blue states over voter list maintenance will help clean voter rolls for the 2026 midterm elections. With the congressional elections coming up next year, the DOJ said it's trying to ensure that only eligible voters. How novel, right? Only eligible voters on the state's voter rolls will convote. While some states have voluntarily complied with the DOJ's request for voter registration data or are cleaning the voter rolls themselves, others are refusing to hand over information, citing privacy concerns. Yes, in just the news in the real America's voice with our own John Solomon on Wednesday, the mature American citizens titled the top priorities for 2026. Dylan said Trump administration marks the first time the states have been sued to ensure their voter rolls are maintained. She was with our own John Solomon. Can you roll her there?

[Promo Announcer]

We have brought these lawsuits first.

[Big D]

We started by asking for voluntary compliance and six states did voluntarily comply with our data requests and have shared their information with us. Some states are voluntarily now that the president has lifted a fee that was associated with Cleaning their data through the federal SAVE database, some of them doing.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

That on their own. And we're helping in coordination with other.

[Big D]

Agencies make sure that they have the.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Data they need to take dead people off the voter rolls, people who are.

[Big D]

Not citizens off the voter rolls, et cetera.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

I'm close to reaching an agreement, I.

[Big D]

Hope, with 10 states. I've had discussions with a couple of.

[Promo Announcer]

Other secretaries of state in my office.

[Big D]

Office just this week about whether they're.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Going to comply or whether I'm going to sue them.

[Big D]

Georgia has told us they're not going to comply. I'll be suing Georgia in the immediate future. And then I'm in litigation with 18 states in 19 different lawsuits over their refusal to comply. And they've raised objections, including privacy.

[Promo Announcer]

I mean, I'm asking for stuff like the last four of somebody social.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Whether someone's in the country legally or not or is a citizen or not.

[Promo Announcer]

Is obviously a matter of federal record.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

So the concept.

[Host]

Seemed like she was in mid sentence there, but. Yeah, that's.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, well, that's kind of. She, she kind of rolls through and repeats herself a little bit there, but she's doing the right stuff. The stuff Tom Fitton, we've seen him chasing down, cleaning up these photo rolls. I mean, it's a novel idea that we don't want dead people to vote and we don't want illegal citizens to vote and, and we don't want someone to vote 11 times and, you know, let's clean it up. And maybe that's one of the reasons why Trump's so emboldened to not care about anything at all this time around, because maybe he knows they're cleaning things up. Because we know that if anyone, if anyone thinks that the 2020 election wasn't a rigged job, they're just flat out crazy.

[Host]

I mean, this is, this is a really important step to take. But here's the issue, and I'm interested in what you guys think, what the audience thinks here, there. I don't think this can just be chum in the water for the base, which is what we're getting. You know, everybody's looking at this and going, but I think we really need to see what the results are from this. We need to see something from this. Right? It can't just be, hey, we're actively suing these people and we're demanding that ABCD done. Yeah, but we, that's. That's great. And that's gets the base going. Okay, yeah, hell yeah, this is what we want. But we have to see a next step here, don't we? It can't always kind of be chum in the water.

[Paul Nolan]

It's always chum in the water. We almost never see the next step. But I think what we saw going down in Georgia, you know, with the chain of command and the custody and, you know, all of the nonsense that happened to Trump, claiming that there was a problem with the chain of command and then, you know, being, you know, assaulted by the media and by the government itself. I think we're going to, I think we're finally going to see something here because we've had it. We know there's no chance to win the midterms if there's even a little bit of fraud, in my opinion. So I can't see them not going full tilt against, keep and retain their side of power. But I think you're like everybody else now. We're all tired of hoping something big happens and then nothing happens.

[Host]

I saw, I think it was Ned Ryan on X today talking about this when it came out and he was talking about Wisconsin as an example. You know, Wisconsin's voter rolls contain 8 million total registrations with 3 million inactive.

[Paul Nolan]

Million.

[Host]

But verified data shows approximately 3.8 million active registered voters statewide. And there's only 6 million residents of Wisconsin.

[Big D]

Not adding up.

[Host]

No, it is adding up with 192,000 inactive purges conducted in just 2025 alone. And he says, so when you look at these kind of numbers and you go just like what you guys just did, he says, well, that's because the plan then obviously the Dems in Wisconsin, you know what they're trying to do, not only resist the voter roll cleanup, but then trying to figure out how they can pull in Nevada and look at those three and a half million ballots of inactives just floating out there and think, yeah, well, we could hard. Let's go harvest those for those inactives, which could mean dead, could mean who knows what.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, so. And not to mention, like my tinfoil hat always buzzing. But I still think the early mail in scam, I still think all the evidence that keeps coming in about these, you know, Dominion machines and smartmatic, like, you know, flipping votes. I know people say you're crazy to think that that happens, but the evidence is everywhere. Like, where is it?

[Host]

I just thought on the early voting thing you say scam, but isn't it one, Isn't it more, hmm, isn't it more importantly that we, I don't want to say partake in the scam too, but like, if they're going to do it as well as. Don't we just have to partake in doing it? Not scamming, but don't we have to get early voting to be a big. A bigger part of what we do leading up to elections than what we have been doing?

[Paul Nolan]

Maybe we could ask Act Blue to support us in the Conservative Party. Maybe they could send in an offsetting million fake votes for us.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

I don't care.

[Host]

What are you going to do that.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

I think you go with these bottom feeders. Remember there was a guy, he was on, I think Project Veritas video in. I almost said Somalia. Minnesota.

[Big D]

Close.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

And he had a car fully at hundreds. He said these are worth between five right now. Five to $10. He goes at the end. If we're getting close to the election, I'll get 100 bucks apiece. Why don't we go after that guy and say you're under arrest. 10 years for every illegal vote.

[Paul Nolan]

Vote.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Who set you up to this? He's going to rat.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

And you do this everywhere. Remember Those mules?

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah. 2,000 mules.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Yeah. Get 2,000 of them. Say you're going to prison. Who puts you up to this?

[Host]

They'll.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

They'll. They'll turn on them.

[Paul Nolan]

Look what they did to Trump. Look what they did to Lindell. Look what they did to Sidney Powell. Anybody who questioned the election was destroyed. The media legitimately tried do everything their power to destroy them. They know that they got a skim scam job, so.

[Host]

Yep.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

And what are the three signs you're looking at? A psyop. Number one, the narrative is verbatim coming from the left. Number two, they get celebrities on it. And number three, they ostracize anyone who stands up to it. Tell me that wasn't the biggest and probably the most damaging psyop of the 21st century.

[Paul Nolan]

I mean, when elections are fraud, you know, you don't have a country.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Yep.

[Host]

All right. 38 past the hour. Live from Studio 6B, the Warrior Division. Dividend. Tariffs, troops, and Trump Rx. That is the basis of tonight's diaper diplomacy. Roll it, Aaron.

[Big D]

Tonight I am also proud to announce that more than 1,450 thousand.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Think of this.

[Big D]

1,450,000 military service members will receive a special we call Warrior Dividend before Christmas. A Warrior Dividend. In honor of our Nation's founding in 1776, we are sending every soldier $1,776. Think of that.

[Paul Nolan]

And the checks are already on the way.

[Big D]

Nobody understood that one until about 30 minutes ago we made a lot more money than anybody thought because of tariffs and the bill helped us along. Nobody deserves it more than our military.

[Paul Nolan]

And I say congratulations to everybody.

[Big D]

And by the way, we now have record enlistment in our military. And last year we had among the worst recruitment numbers in our military's history. What a difference a year makes. In addition, I'm doing what no politician of either party has ever done, standing up special interest to dramatically reduce the price price of prescription drugs. I negotiated directly with the drug companies and foreign nations which were taking advantage of our country for many decades to slash prices on drugs and pharmaceuticals by as much as 400, 500 and even 600%. In other words, your drug costs will be plummeting downward. And I use the threat of tariffs to get foreign countries who would never have done done it to pay the cost of this giant dollar reduction.

[Paul Nolan]

They stopped ripping us off and it began as of four days ago. There has never been anything like this.

[Big D]

In the history of our country. Drugs have only gone up, but now they'll be going down by numbers never conceived possible. It's called most favored nation.

[Paul Nolan]

And no president has ever had the.

[Big D]

Courage or ability to get this done until now. Now the first of these unprecedented price reductions will be available starting in January through a new website, trumprx.gov.

[Host]

So here's my question on that. The President says the drop by price is never ever conceived. I think he's right about that. If something's $100 and you lower it by 100%, what's the cost of.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Of it?

[Host]

$10 a dollar would nippy00.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

I wondered that too.

[Host]

So how, how do you red if you reduce it 400%, do they pay you? Do they pay you $400?

[Paul Nolan]

I was fuzzy on that math too. I wish I didn't bring. I don't know that. If I knew there'd be math. I wish you would have given me a chance to Google it.

[Host]

I don't know how. How do you reduce something 4, 5 or 600% if it's a thousand dollars and you reduce one thing to increase, you can increase zero, isn't it?

[Big D]

Yeah. Increasing is one thing, but reducing it.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

This is the reason I barely got through high school.

[Big D]

Oh no.

[Host]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Paul Nolan]

I never understood looking his test.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Yeah.

[Big D]

Mine'S an attitude, an aptitude test.

[Host]

I don't know. I don't know the math there on that. So that's interesting. But no, that's a good time.

[Paul Nolan]

We need to chat right now.

[Host]

Now, huh?

[Paul Nolan]

We need the chat to come up.

[Host]

All right, 13 to the hour. Live from Studio 6 base 6 to sports. Paul Dolan is doing the news in his fancy sweater, Aaron and Fran holding it down. KDJ sitting in for Rick Delgado, whose birthday is today and he took the night off to go to a nice birthday dinner. So I'm sure we'll get a full report. We'll get a full report tomorrow night. KDJ is here. He's got some news. He's the host of The Kevin Downey Jr. Show 9 to 11 weekday mornings on 1039 LI News Radio, where you can hear us on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights. Kdj, what's going on?

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Well, thank you, Big D. As you know, the Salamis have been ripping off a bunch of COVID era stuff in Minnesota and, well, looks like they got themselves a new watchdog and Tim Wall set it up. What could go wrong?

[Host]

Oh great.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

What could go wrong with Tim Walls setting up the watchdog?

[Paul Nolan]

Oh boy.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Look now, but listen to this virtue signaling he does. First of all, he knows he's in trouble because all the roads lead to him and Ilhan Omar. They're panicking. But look at what he says. He goes Minnesota's long standing. Oh, I'm sorry, I should read in my my broadcaster's broadcaster's voice. But then I'd have to remove my scrotum. So I'll just pretend I'm urinating while I sit. Folks, as I read this is Tim Wall's voice. He goes Minnesota's long standing high standards of integrity of public funds goes hand in hand with a culture of generosity. You can't have one without the. The other. So what he's saying is we need to be very generous as we allow the Salamis to rip off billions of dollars just from the state of Minnesota. And he's going to handle it. He's on top.

[Paul Nolan]

He's calling them the Salamis.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Yeah. So keep in mind folks, I think the state of Minnesota is coming up on roughly $9 billion worth of. Worth of thiever. And now Ohio, the Salamis in Ohio, they're going hold my cousin wife. We can beat that. We could be that. And they're up to 228 million. So they're creeping up, they're creeping up on, on Minnesota. But it's all good. All good. Tim Walls has it in hand now believe it or not, the Republican Republicans are saying hey Tim, we don't trust you. Look at that. The geo pairs green growing a gop. Geoper gop.

[Host]

Who's the czar, by the way? Is it someone from the squad? No, I wish.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

That'd be even funnier.

[Paul Nolan]

It's Tim Waltz's cousin.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

It's Tim O'. Malley.

[Host]

Oh him.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

He's the first director of program integrity now that almost $9 billion are gone.

[Host]

Yeah, Tim.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Oh sure we can trust him, right?

[Host]

Oh, like a nice guy. Sure.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

So Republicans a little cranky because they know it's a joke. And you watch folks, everything's going to disappear. I was talking today on my radio show which Rick Delgado was on because you know it's a. Yeah.

[Host]

[Big D]

Yeah, yeah, sure.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

The left is letting their people go all over the place. The guy I don't even know. It's on the roster. The, the. The animal who towed the, the ICE vehicles away in la. He got off scot free. Scott free.

[Paul Nolan]

Free.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

I'm telling you, no one goes to jail here. I'm calling it now. Yeah.

[Host]

It'S hard to argue with that.

[Paul Nolan]

Yes. With three tiers of justice and middle aged white guys pay for everything.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

And don't forget the guy.

[Host]

True.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Some sits Pinkler in Wisconsin damaged Teslas. Remember when that was cool? We don't do that anymore. We don't wipe our Bohoukies on Teslas anymore. 20,000 thousand and they let him go. And then in Minnesota, a guy got caught stealing 7.2 million. And the jury said, you're. You're done. Your goose is cooked. Came back to court and the judge said, nope, I'm overriding it. This man's free to go. Which means he gets to keep the money.

[Paul Nolan]

Good Lord, let's move to Minnesota to start a scam.

[Big D]

Making a big campaign donation.

[Host]

Not just Minnesota. You've got Judge, you've got. We have judicial tyranny all over this country. We've had it for a long time. But it's not just in Minnesota that you have these judges. California, did you just mention the guy, the truck, the accident guy who got let go?

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

No.

[Host]

The illegal who was driving the. The 18 wheeler?

[Paul Nolan]

No. Scott free.

[Host]

He got off, too.

[Big D]

Really?

[Host]

I think. I think I saw that today. Yeah. If.

[Paul Nolan]

I don't know if you guys saw this following on my X feed, but guy walking down the street put a bat with a nail throat into an old woman's head. Head.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Took her eye out.

[Paul Nolan]

Took her eye out.

[Host]

Blinded her.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, blinded her.

[Host]

I saw the video.

[Paul Nolan]

It's disgusting.

[Host]

Yeah. He'll be in the front door, out the back door too, because he's been.

[Paul Nolan]

Arrested, what, 30 times. Oh, the cops said, oh, he normally just punches people that he's stepping.

[Host]

Yeah, we know him. Yeah, he's a. He's a. He's a common. He's a usual suspect guy. He's still on the streets. And that's the problem.

[Dr. Ben Tapper]

Wow.

[Host]

And what's happening everywhere.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

What do you think is going to happen to that judge in Wisconsin who let an illegal immigrant go? He was on trial aisle and someone said, hey, Judge, Ice is here. She goes, okay, let me get my boy. And ran him into her office and out the back door. She was convicted. I promise you nothing's going to happen to her.

[Host]

She's too high up.

[Paul Nolan]

Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent. That's Adam Smith quote.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Absolutely. Oh, one of the Transom Bob threw a knife at a federal agent's head. Just walked. Oh, my God. Convicted and walked. Well, you poor thing. You've been through enough.

[Paul Nolan]

Oh, boy.

[Host]

Well, look at the. Look at the Maryland men. Remember the Maryland man, Grego there, whatever his name is? Yep. There's video of him today walking into a federal courthouse for a hearing. And there's a bunch of people there because I guess they knew this was happening. They're all cheering. They're all cheering like he's. Again. This is the Democrat plan, right? It's The. It's the illegalism. Way more virtuous than you, the citizen. Yes. And that's always been the point plan and that's always been the way they feel about it.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

And I'm calling it now. Luigi Mangione walks on the state level.

[Host]

Please don't say I don't know about that.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

He's going to walk on state or get a slap in the wrist. Every time he goes into that courtroom, he wins.

[Host]

I mean, every person I've heard break that case down say that even some of these peripheral things that they're, that they're fighting about on whether he got read as Miranda, all this stuff they said, even if any of, Even if all of that ended up being true, they still. This thing. Thing is they, they. Most of the. I mean, it's legal experts. I don't know what that means, but you would think they know more about it than I do. They say that they still got this guy dead to rights with all the evidence they're going to present. But. So let's hope you're not right.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

I hope I'm wrong.

[Host]

But it's the same culture. It's that culture of building these sub humans up to somehow on the left. They're like these cultural icons. Yeah, well, because they do with most leftists. Just imagine and think in their head that they want to do. But that's. But thankfully most of them at least don't carry out the acts. But they all.

[Paul Nolan]

Danny Penny's fighting for his life is standing up for somebody innocent victim. It's just bizarro world.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

And look at that toilet. Person who went to kill Kavanaugh. Went to kill Kavanaugh. And we go. And then he goes, I'm trans now. And the judge goes, well, you, you know, well, I'll give you six years. You're going to need to, you know, heal with your family and move onward for the rest of your life. Six years for plotting to kill a Supreme Court justice. And not even plotting. He showed up with a gun and twist ties and whatnot. Got to keep those animals on the street. The left loves their criminals.

[Host]

Yeah, that's for sure. All right, kdj, anything else right now?

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Oh, I got a ton of stories. You want to.

[Host]

Yeah, give me, give me one more quick one if you have. Have one.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

All right, look at this. This is from PJ Media dot com. It looks like this guy's name, the writer is Kevin Downey Jr. Hey, we like him.

[Big D]

I know him.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

So I did something on Saturday. I've got this column I do once a while. It's called Tinfoil Hatter Day. And this one is called Tinfoil Hatter Day. Is or was Rob Reiner, a deep, a CIA deep state spook rolled the tape and I found. And you can find it. It's easy to find. It's a 22 minute long video, well produced, well shot, well directed, probably directed himself, where he's basically interviewing Clapper and then John Brennan and they're talking about Trump, Russia, collusion as though it's a foregone conclusion. So this was recorded a while back.

[Paul Nolan]

I did a big breakdown of this. So we come on the other side of this. I wouldn't mind talking about it for a little bit.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Absolutely. Remember the three signs of assault up. The narrative is the same verbatim. You get celebrities involved and that's when the guy said you should get scared. Number three, ostracize anyone who disagrees. How many of us got in trouble for saying Trump president collusion is a joke? And here they are making a video pretending it's real.

[Host]

All right, well, maybe we'll discuss that when we get back. That's a wrap on hour one.

[Paul Nolan]

That's good.

[Host]

I thought we had one more segment to go in hour one. All right, hour two. Coming back right up to this, Sam.

[Big D]

Well, the state of Missouri got an early Christmas present, one I don't think they're going to love too much. Big D Chiefs crossing border to Kansas.

[Host]

Kansas got the Christmas presentation.

[Big D]

They got the gold is right. This is field level media. After more than five decades at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, the Chiefs are expected to cross the border to play at a proposed new stadium in Kansas. Legislation was approved by lawmakers in Kansas on Monday that paves the way for a stadium construction project and joint proposal with the Chiefs to leave their home since 1963 in Missouri and head 20 minutes west to Kansas City. Kids Kansas, near the City of Kansas Speedway over there. The Kansas City Royals could follow in the footsteps of the Chiefs franchise and leave what is essentially a joint compound in Missouri surrounded by a vast parking space. A move was thought to be the most likely resolution for both pro sports franchises because voters in Jackson county decided against retaining a sales tax of 3/8 of a cent to pay for renovations at the Chiefs longtime home, Arrowhead Stadium. The same measure in April 24 would have partially funded a new ballpark for the Royals. Now Clark Mark Hunt, the owner and son of the great Lamar Hunt, one of the great innovators of football, the old afl, his son was on earlier today. Cut five the Chief's owner makes this announcement. Aaron, could you Run that please.

[Dr. Ben Tapper]

In the 60 plus years of this franchise, we have called three stadiums home and we have brought home a championship to every single one of those stadiums. Today's announcement ensures that for generations to come, Chiefs fans will have the best game day experience in the entire National Football League. That our children and grandchildren will have a place for their own unforgettable, forgettable moments. And I promise you this, we'll do everything we can to bring trophies home to Kansas.

[Paul Nolan]

Wow.

[Host]

So now Slick, someone says in the chat this is the same as the Cowboys moving from the Cotton bowl to Arlington. Would you agree with that?

[Big D]

Way back when back in. That would be 19, about 1970, when they opened up Texas Stadium and the Cowboys did.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Yeah.

[Big D]

And you know, that kind of was, you know, it becomes a forgotten thing after a while. Cotton bowl is still there hosting some great games. Got a big game coming up with this week with Miami.

[Paul Nolan]

Right.

[Big D]

But yeah, so. Well that's amazing though. But yeah, Chanson City Chiefs, Arrowhead Stadium. You know, there's just something about that stadium. I don't know how they're going to replicate that. That was the shape of that stadium, the field, the memories. I mean the Chiefs have had a tremendous run this past, better part of the decade there with Mahomes. Just feel like they've lost everything. Update on Pittsburgh Steelers DK Metcalf, the receiver who got in that altercation with that blue haired fan from Detroit. He now suspended two games. The NFL announced a couple of hours ago. So. Well, it's amazing we were ready for the playoffs. How much? Yeah, well that's not a good time because you know the Steelers are still in a fight there. But he will be back for the playoffs. But you still got two weeks to go. I don't know, Big D, pretty, pretty wild if you ask me.

[Host]

Steelers look a little different this year. They don't look like they're stumbling into the playoffs for a one and out like they have been the last couple years. This quarterback is a little different.

[Big D]

Well, you got a good quarterback there, Aaron Rodgers there. They haven't had him. Right. And he's amazing and well, Tomlin's just been an absolute master. Mike Tomlin, the great head coach of the Steelers dealers, right. I don't think he has he ever had a losing season. This guy, he's incredible.

[Paul Nolan]

I don't know how anybody, any Pittsburgh Steeler fan can't want Mike Tomlin. He, if he gets fired from Pittsburgh, he'll be hired in one minute and.

[Big D]

They were calling for his head just a Couple of weeks ago. Yeah.

[Paul Nolan]

Well, you know, just like Andy Reid out of town.

[Big D]

Philadelphia ran Santa Claus out of town. We know that.

[Commercial Announcer]

I believe I saw a stat that said out of all of his 19 seasons as a head coach, he hasn't had one losing season.

[Host]

19.

[Big D]

There you go.

[Paul Nolan]

How about this? Last weekend, this weekend just passed. It was almost the first time he's.

[Big D]

Ever lost a game where they were up by X amount of points in the fourth quarter. He was 103. 01. I think his record.

[Paul Nolan]

Coach.

[Big D]

Absolutely incredible. I have time for one more big deal real quick.

[Host]

Sure.

[Big D]

Sidney Crosby breaks longtime Penguins franchise record Adam Gretz I like to get a little hockey in there. This is yard Barker. The Pittsburgh Penguins 4th 3 win over the Montreal Canadian Sunday night was significant for several reasons. From a team perspective, it gave the Penguins a much needed win and snapped what had been an ugly and sometimes baffling eight game losing streak. It also gave them their first shootout win of the season after losing five in a row. It also saw captain Sidney Crosby take over the franchise all time scoring lead as he passed one of the greatest to do it, hall of famer Mario Lemieux. A lot of people still say Lemieux is the greatest of all time and I would agree with that. Crosby's good, but I, I like Lemieux.

[Sponsor Announcer]

A little bit better.

[Paul Nolan]

Better than Gretzky. No, no.

[Big D]

For Pittsburgh. Okay.

[Paul Nolan]

Yes.

[Big D]

Yeah.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Gretzky.

[Paul Nolan]

No.

[Big D]

And that's a rapid sports congratulations there to Sidney Crosby. Big D. That's a rapid sports look.

[Host]

Very good. Sports brought to you by Mike Lindell. LFS XP is the promo code to use. So one of the issues that the right and the conservative movement has really won on over the last couple of years is dei. I think everybody can safely say that the DEI is at best probably on life support support. And that's why I found this in the Federalist today. Interesting because when you talk about so called diversity, equity and inclusion, again, I think most agree it's on life support. President Trump's executive orders have driven a stake through the heart of DEI programs in the federal government and the agencies. His agencies are steadily bringing universities, states and cities to heal on it as well. We've seen that all over. So this article today caught my attention because it says but woke policymakers are not giving up on dei. A new tool is emerging to steer benefits and spending towards favored racial groups in the name of quote unquote equity, equity. And the new tool is geography. And there's this new report that just came out and it was called an aquatics study. Based In Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, since 1968, the Milwaukee County Parks Department has run a large, deep water pool in Haley's Corners. It's been a fixture of the community, but the pool now needs some $600,000 in repair. So they did this study and the Parks department recommended permanently closing it. And they said, well, why? And the reason they came up with is there's too many white people that live in Haley's Corner. About 90% of Haley's Corner is white, meaning that principles of equity, quote unquote, require deprioritization of the pool repairs. Equity is a central consideration, according to the department. Department consideration should both be user equity needs as well as equitable aquatic offerings. And they said, buried deep in all of the gobbledygook of this report, the Parks Department revealed that the true metric they use for the decision making is something called the equity index. This is a mathematical formula that ranks every park in Milwaukee County. A significant part of the calculation is the racial makeup of the surrounding areas. So parks in black neighborhoods score higher than parks in white neighborhoods. Like other white areas, the Haley's Corner pool scored poorly, ranking 128th among 153 total parks in Milwaukee County. It had an equity index score of only 3 out of 10, meaning principles of racial equality demand that the park be deprioritized because of the village's whiteness. Now here's the part that really should catch your attention and why this is.

[Big D]

That, yeah, this will really get you.

[Host]

Guys, but he's raised me. This is not a local problem with the bureau. Bureaucrats pushing dei. The investigation by the Wisconsin Incident Institute for Law and Liberty found that Milwaukee County's equity index is mostly based on a tool that's promoted by the Trump administration. The tool is called the Social Vulnerability Index, or svi, and it's run out of the Centers for Disease Control. The index measures a certain geographic area of vulnerability and according to the svi, having more non white residents makes the area more Vulnerable. Vulnerable. The CDC's tool is used across America by democrat run cities and states. Connecticut ranks drinking water projects based on the FBI on the svi. California uses it to decide which communities receive disaster assistance. Arizona uses it to decide where to award health related grants. Illinois is prioritizing broadband grants to communities with the highest SVI scores in the state. State. Those are just a few examples of the widespread use of this SVI tool at the cdc, which allows DEI redlining, the practice of prioritizing certain neighborhoods over others based on Race. All of this is screamingly illegal. Using proxies for race, such as geography, is race discrimination. And they say it's very surprising that the Trump administration promotes the SVI, effectively supporting DEI redlining around the country. And as they pointed out this organization that did this, they sent a letter to Robert Kennedy Jr. Who obviously heads the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the cdc. And they said the solution here is simple. You guys have the ability and probably the right to delete the use of the race of svi. It's an actually small but necessary step to ensure that states and local governments are not using DEI principles, principles to fix parks, potholes and community swimming pools. The Trump administration should take the matter seriously and fix it quickly. If it does nothing, it risks lawsuits from the right. It wouldn't be the first. There's five pending lawsuits against the Trump administration for race based policies based on the disusing of this tool. The Constitution demands that all benefits and services be provided on a race neutral basis. Crisis and perpetuating harmful DEI continues to divide Americans on racial lines. The Trump administration should do the right thing and encourage colorblind policies. So this is one of those things that, you know, mostly would go under the wayside if you didn't know about this, but it's also one of the reasons that, you know, if we're going to put the stake through the heart of this thing, things like this can't be allowed to live.

[Paul Nolan]

No, absolutely.

[Host]

Especially under this administration, it has the ability to just go, okay, that, that's out.

[Big D]

Eradicated.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah. And, and all its funding to it as well. Like, and, and, you know, but these things are so entrenched. There's an article I wanted to get to tonight about. It says the climate cult's dissolution is inevitable. Bill Gates stepped away. Most nations offered only empty nods to climate targets as Bernie and AOC's climate gospel are sidelined. So we're seeing so many things happen. Let's just see it really hammered into a block. Oblivion into the memory hole.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

That white neighborhood is safe unless you're a pool.

I sound like the blue. It's on a Monday. Let me be blunt. Gold's up around 40 this year. That's not speculation, that's a reality. And if a portion of it I think gold hit all new all time high, new all time high today. And if a portion of your savings isn't diversified into gold, you're missing the boat. Here are the facts. Inflation is still too high, the US Dollar is still too weak and the government debt is, well, insurmountable. That's why central banks are flocking to gold. They're the ones driving prices up to record highs. Like I said, a brand new high. I think it hit today around 40. Almost $4400 I believe. But it's not too late to buy gold from Birch Gold Group and get in. Well, get in the door now. Birch Gold will help help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA that's tax sheltered by the way, in gold. But you don't pay a penny out of pocket to do this. Just text America to 989-898 and claim your free information. Get there's no obligation, only useful information. The best indicator of future is the past. And gold has historically been a safe haven for a millennia. What other asset can say that? Not many, if any. And if any, except for gold, text America to 989-898 right now to claim your free information kit on gold. That's America. Text it to 989-898. Protect your future today with our friends from Birch Gold, 18 past the hour live from Studio 6B. So Paul sent me this clip. It's not really a news story, but I guess it's news in the fact that he's running. Where is he? Where is he run? He's running for Senate in Minnesota. Speaking of Minnesota, where Lindell's running for governor.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, he is. Or was. But he's just such a powerful voice.

[Host]

Royce White.

[Big D]

Oh wow.

[Host]

Yeah, he's on Real America's Voice. I believe his show's on the weekends.

[Paul Nolan]

And I caught a couple clips of him.

[Big D]

Great guy.

[Paul Nolan]

And honestly, he's Just got, listen, you know, he's ultra maga and you can't use the race car to get against him. You know, you can't play that game. He's exempt from, you know, being called a white supremacist, of course, because anytime you say I want America first, you, you know, you're this, that another label.

[Host]

So he talks about what he talks about here, which is interesting, is that he, number one, he's got the. Well, I almost used a bad word there. He's got the guts, let me say it that way. Yeah. To say it. But it's an interesting. It's kind of like the new.

[Paul Nolan]

New.

[Host]

It's a certainly, it's certainly a new way of thinking. It's certainly not an establishment way of thinking. When he's asked about party lines.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Yeah.

[Host]

So cut to Aaron. Roll that. Say you become Minnesota's next U.S. senator. Yes.

[Big D]

Would you, would you work across party.

[Host]

Lines to accomplish change? There are no parts. Stop it for a second. Now, every single person you could put in that chair who's running for office, what are the going to say? Of course, before you could even finish the period on the question, they'd say, oh, of course. And then they'd go, I'm going to be the. But I'm going to do. And I'm going to, I mean, I'm going to reach across and I've got. All my friends are going to be Democrat. They would. As fast as you could answer the question, most politicians would respond with the typical canned answer.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, he, he makes it very clear there are no parties anymore.

[Host]

So here's what he says. Bring it back just a tad, Aaron. And then start. Started again.

[Big D]

Would you work across party lines to accomplish change?

[Host]

There are no party lines anymore.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

What do you mean by that?

[Host]

There are no party lines. There's only, there's only there. There are only patriots and nationalists and globalists. There are no party lines.

[Big D]

But there are still senators from, from different party perspectives.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Yeah.

[Host]

I mean on paper, on, on for the theater.

[Big D]

So are you willing There aren't there.

[Host]

There aren't a handful handful of America first unbought and paid for United States senators in the entire United States Senate.

[Big D]

How about this?

[Host]

How would you collaborate with counterparts? Tell the truth. I'm not collaborating with. With traders. I'm not collaborating with. And some people would say, well, that that makes you unqualified to run for the office. The prerequisite is that you have to become enmeshed in the corruption of the machine in order to be a viable candidate. And I think that's what's wrong with American political, political culture is that we expect our candidates to sell out, but then we tell them not to.

[Big D]

Collaboration is selling out.

[Host]

If, oh, if the collaboration is to undermine the fabric of this country and, and the value of citizenship, for sure.

[Big D]

I'm thinking about, like, writing bills and.

[Host]

Like, where do you think the selling out of this nation happens?

[Big D]

Fair.

[Host]

Fine.

[Dr. Ben Tapper]

All right.

[Big D]

I, I clearly, you have a system for sure.

[Host]

Okay. I have huge issues with the system. I have huge issues with omnibus business bills. I have huge issues with the special interest in lobby money in D.C. i have a huge issue with the fact that it's, it's, it's a conventional prerequisite that a United States Senate candidate has to have pre. Committed to a lobby of a special interest in lobby to have any chance of raising the money necessary to win one of these campaigns. I object to all of that. That's a badass clip right there. I'm going to tell you right now. I don't know if that. I don't know if he could win because the party machine's going to be out listening to that and going, yeah, I don't think so. He's going to be up against it totally. But that's a badass clip right there. Yeah, that, that is. I almost said it again, because that's the first thing I think of. That's guts right there, man. To say it and say it so emphatically and sounding so.

[Paul Nolan]

I mean, he mentioned globalists. That's all we need, we need from Trump. Trump's got to say, I'm up against the globalists, the international banking machine. I'm trying to save our money system. The whole system's wrecked. It's no conspiracy theories. It's all a mess. And we're going to try to fight through it. All right, we're back on board. But messaging, that's what I want to hear from Trump. I want to hear that kind of messaging.

[Host]

We think of that clip, Kev.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

You know, I wish that the batteries didn't die in this thing. I could have heard it, but I saw it earlier.

[Host]

Why don't you give it to me? I'll give you a new battery.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

We got carried away.

[Big D]

Batteries not included.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

But I saw it earlier and I, I thought this guy is, he's either a hero or he's not long for this political world.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

I mean, I don't mean that. I mean, they might take him out, but I think they're going to chase him away as Fast as they can.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, he'll get corrupted and smear campaign. But. Or there'll be one of those red dots floating around on his. You know, they don't. The. The. The rhinos don't want him.

[Host]

We have batteries.

[Paul Nolan]

Don't want him.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Yeah.

[Host]

You didn't hear the clip because your batteries were dead.

[Big D]

All right, all right.

[Host]

Very good. That's a great clip. So. All right, Paul, what's that? Do you have any other headlines right now, or is that's pretty much it for you right now?

[Paul Nolan]

Well, no, I do. I thought we had it for the next clip, but I have an interesting story that I'm constantly ranted about. Free speech is completely under attack around the world by the globalist and the globalist establishment. There's a man, he's been released by the police without a charge after appearing to run in the direction of Anthony Albanese and yelling blood on your hands. At the Bondi vigil. And the prime minister, you know, was one of an estimated 15,000 people who, you know, poured onto Bondi, you know, to, you know, to, you know, kind of visual the attack. But this guy gets mauled by the cops just, you know, just by yelling at a politician. And, you know, for me, it's just another example. Example of this is how these people operate. Your free speech is legitimately under attack. And if it's not here now, sometime down the road, they'll go after it. And even if it's not a moral challenge to what you say, like BLM, it's going to be something like this.

[Host]

25 past the hour, KDJ. I just noticed, because I just mentioned this guy that you have a news story on ICE that was barred from re detaining Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who I just talked about seeing today walk into court. What's. What else? What's this story?

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Isn't this sick? This is. Man, this steams my clams again. A federal judge throwing up a roadblock saying ICE cannot come and get the darling Kilmar Abrego Garcia when you know he's. He's in Ms. Thirteen doesn't speak English. He's got to have a translator anytime he goes to court. So why put him through that? But they said ICE can't get him. They want to make sure he's not locked up for the holidays. I kid you not. This is from ABC News headline ICE barred from re detaining Kilmar Abrego Garcia Garcia through Christmas holiday. And when it makes sure that when he's not running people when he's not trafficking humans or beating up on his baby mama that he's having fun and you know, with the family for the Yuletide season.

[Host]

All right, 26 past the hour. Sam.

There we are. Live from Studio 6P 30 minutes past the hour. Hour 2 6. Dude. Sports. Paul. No, Nolan's gonna do some more News. Kevin Downey Jr. Is coming up with some more news as well. Please welcome though, Dr. Tapper. Back to the show from our friends over at the Wellness Company. Of course, you can always go to TWC Health/Voice. TWC Health/Voice. Dr. Tapper, welcome back to the show. How are you?

[Big D]

Good.

[Dr. Ben Tapper]

It's good to be here. How are you guys?

[Host]

Very well. It's good to. Good to have you back. Merry Christmas. Hope you have a great week as well with you and family and whatever you do for this week, hope it goes fantastic. Fantastic. I was talking to my wife today and she actually mentioned this and actually thought about, I think the last time you were on we talked about the flu coming up and you know, you kind of hear every year though, this is going to be the worst. You know, you always hear this be the worst winter. This is going to be the most snow. This is going to be the worst flu season we've ever had. Well, it seems like, at least according to her, the flu right now is seemingly everywhere when it comes to the public school setting. So maybe these predictions are coming true that the flu is going to be really bad this year and the dominant strain is somewhat resistant. Resistant. What do you know so far? What can you tell us about the flu season as we head here into the real, the real flu season next year?

[Dr. Ben Tapper]

Well, I mean, I think the flu season is, is bad every year. You know, it really, we, we have to understand that. We have to understand what the flu season really is. And I believe it is a deficiency season. We're not getting that 30 minutes of summer sunlight on our body. So we are going to be deficient in, you know, D3 unless we get that 30 minutes of summer sunlight on large, large parts of our body. So the flu season is deficiency deficiency season. And really it is, you know, it seems to be, you know, worse every year. We're not, you know, we have more stress than ever before. And you're hearing that in the school systems too as well. So. But again, we have to understand what it really is and, and how, and why we're getting sick. And that's really the key.

[Host]

Do you have a recommended amount of D3 that you like people to take on a daily basis?

[Dr. Ben Tapper]

I mean I, I recommend, it's always, I go to the Vitamin D Council, they always say it should be based off body weight. So 40ius per pound of body weight is the ideal amount of vitamin D that we should be on. And vitamin D is a hormone, it has a lot of immune functions. There's thousands of functions that vitamin D is a co factor for in the body. So really supplementing with that, moving away from toxicity and deficiency into purity and efficiency. And we do that with good supplementation and good food choices. But 40ius per pound is what I recommend.

[Host]

And when I listen to you, even in your last answer, you think about flu in a different way. Like you said, a more of kind of what we're missing than just, you know, people getting sick. But yet you walk into any doctor's office, any traditional doctor's office that's maybe been doing it for a long time. And of course the first question you always get is, did you get your flu vaccine or do you want your flu vaccine? Why do so many of them just still their default position is to get the flu vaccine when most of us know that it's usually pretty ineffective? Right.

[Dr. Ben Tapper]

Well, you have to understand the flu shot is big business. I mean you can save 5 or 10 cents a per gallon if you get a flu shot every year. There's always, there's always a push to, in a scare taxi to push these flu vaccines that coerce the, the people to get the flu vaccine. It's completely ineffective every year, you know, the flu, so called it, it, you know it, there's variants of it and to land the right vaccine for the flu is almost impossible. It's ineffective. You know, and if you look at the studies, the studies are very clear. The flu shot is ineffective. And there are better ways to protect yourself against the flu than getting a flu shot. It doesn't work. I've never Had a flu shot in my life and I don't get the flu.

[Host]

Yeah, me neither. Speaking of better ways, one of the better ways is to look at some of the things you guys are doing. Of course, always innovative, always thinking about things in a way different. A different way. Talk to me about this nasal spray you guys have in the throat spray. Can that, can that actually be effective against the flu? How does that work?

[Dr. Ben Tapper]

Well, so think about it. When we, you know, the vaccine goes in the bloodstream, right? The immune system doesn't start there. The immune system starts in the mouth, what we breathe into. So that's why these sprays are highly effective at triggering an immediate immune response. First of all, I believe the tonsils are the gatekeepers to our immune system. And so when we have a throat spray like, you know, this has this loaded with quercetin, zinc, and my favorite is propolis, which is, if you're not familiar with propolis, this is what the bees use to protect the hive, to seal the hive, defend the hive against pathogens or any antigens. And if they're using it, we should be using, in fact, we've been using propolis for centuries to protect the body against pathogens in the body. So it, when you spray that in the nose and throat, it can help with allergies, it can help, is anti inflammatory. It's going to help help the immune system. So if the bees are using it, I think we should use it. We're not, we're not, you know, redesigning the wheel here. We're just observing what bees are doing. And we put that into a bottle and spray. I mean, my boy has had allergies really bad. We got a bottle of propolis and it wiped it out. So it's very, very effective. And so the wellness company has a propolis spray. And that's what this is. It says it's loaded with zinc, load, quercetin, other minerals. But the key ingredient here is propolis. And that is a very, very powerful heavy hitter when it comes to respiratory type illnesses or any other things, especially the flu.

[Host]

And then, and I'm sure covet, RSV, other things like that also can be effective against 100%.

[Dr. Ben Tapper]

Again, you know, we have to understand, you know, again, why we're sick and so these deficiencies. But being proactive here is the key. We shouldn't fear these diseases, but, but be proactive. You know, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We need to value our health now before we get sick. And that is really the solution here. And taking care of the body. You know, we're entering this, the Christmas week here. So many people, they, you know, they want to celebrate. I want to celebrate as well. But you know, a lot of people when they celebrate, they have the celebratory foods like ice cream or pies and they kind of, you know, their diet goes the waste site. But that can affect our immune system. And so even that the stress can play or play a role. So we need to manage the stress. We need to eat well, we need to move well, think well, and we can be well. And that really is the key here. But also get, you know, the sprays, all those things can help as well.

[Host]

Yeah. And I'm sure it can help, obviously, with early prevention, too. To get on it quick, you can go to TWWC health voice, TWC health slash voice today in order and prepare yourself for flu season properly. TWC Health/Voice. You can use promo code voice to save an additional 10 promotion percent. Dr. Ben Tapper, always a pleasure to have you on the show again. Merry Christmas. Have a great week and thanks for your time.

[Host]

All right, live from Studio 6B36 past the hour, let's do some news with Kevin Downey Jr. He's the host of the Kevin Downey Jr. Show. KDJ. Oh, Rosie O' Donnell's back in the news here. KDJ. Is that what I'm seeing?

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Yes, you are, sir.

[Host]

Oh, boy.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

This comes from Breitbart. I love Breitbart. All right. I don't know if this photograph, the photograph itself is, is worth a million dollars. I don't know if it, this speech she gave, but it's her having a stroke, it looks like, while flipping off an imaginary Donald J. Trump. And she's making some sort of a creepy little face. But that's what she does when she talks about Trump and she can't stop talking about Trump even though she just admitted her shrink said you need to detach from all things Trump.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

It's not enough that she moved to another nation. Sorry, Ireland.

[Host]

Yeah. How do you move out of the country and still can't detach yourself from the president of that so called country that you left?

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Just can't do it. She was on TikTok as she's got 2.9 million followers, which I find striking. Yeah. Who out there's going, man, I got to find Rosie O' Donnell on TikTok. Got to see what she said today. She brings it home so she can't even say Trump. Remember the first time he was president, they had to call him 45. Yeah, can't even do that anymore. She's really lost her marbles. She's referring to him now as it. I kid you not. He is now it. And look at it.

[Paul Nolan]

So clever.

[Host]

And the left pretty much as a whole, especially in the entertainment industry, other than, I guess, Nicki Minaj, based on her appearance at oh, boy. At TP usa, I guess the left is just absolutely losing it. Melting down to epic proportions over the Kennedy Center. Is that what. Is that what I'm hearing?

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Oh, yeah. You know what? God, he's such a delicious troll, isn't he? Because he knows they're going to go crazy. They, they jump at everything he does. Just jump at it. And here's Rosie going. He's got. She goes, it's gone too far. And it, I mean, him won't say his name. She writes or she says, the Kennedy center debacle has gone too far. It is seriously unwell. It needs to be removed from office. It. The nameless blob of negative energy. Now, if I were to find a name for a blob of negative energy, I would call that rock Rosie o', Donnell, because she is a blob and she's grotesque. And she really does look like she lives under a bridge and eats billy goats. She really does. I'm telling you, man. So, yeah, she's going nuts because it's now the Trump Kennedy Entertainment center, whatever it's called. And, man, are they losing their minds. And it's just so entertaining. They never get it. They never get that he's mocking them. And because if any, you know what? Trump turned it. Because I remember as a lefty, we all thought, man, when we protest, we're all irreverent. Now it's like crusty old hippies showing up dressed in, you know, frog costumes for Halloween. Go, look at me. I'm so cool. And then Trump does this, and they just poop. Their, their, their, their Crocs. They're going crazy. And I love that she's in Ireland.

[Host]

It's exactly what I was thinking. Stop pooping your Crocs. Exactly. It's a problem. All right, 39 past the hour. Let's do some sports while we can. Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell. LFS6 promo code to you, slickster. What's going on?

[Big D]

I pick the update on Monday Night Football. Good game. Back and forth. San Francisco right now leading by 10, 24, 14 with 146 to go in the second quarter. Phillip Rivers with two beautiful touchdowns to Alec Pierce. So he's hanging right in there. Old man Rivers at 44 years old. Brock Purdy having a good game as well. So this is going to go down to the wire, be another one of these games. I'll tell you, these NFL games have really been great entertainment coming down to the wire. It's been exceptional. And speaking of the NFL, NFL reporter hilariously shuts down bizarre post about her dying Jane Slater responded to the fake death claims. This is Mark Harris of Outkick. Jane Slater is a reporter for the NFL Network who keeps close tabs on the Dallas Cowboys and according to a bizarre social media post, died over the weekend after a tragic domestic violence incident. That report was proven untrue by the most reliable source imaginable, Slater himself. On Sunday morning, Slater was tagged by a user on X who shared a screenshot of the news that she she had died. Reading a headline about your death while you are very much alive has to be quite the weird experience. But Slater responded to the post in hilarious fashion. It's worth mentioning that the bogus post appears, you see them to have first made its rounds on Facebook. And anyone who has spent a few minutes on the platform in recent months has definitely seen some bizarre, very much AI generated stories that have tricked a grandparent or two. Jane Slater is a bit of a legend around these parts. Kick parts. Back in 2021, Slater was dragged by the woke mob online for posting about an unpaid internship opportunity. While plenty of you, if not most of you reading this and had at least one unpaid internship back in the day, the libs could couldn't comprehend such a thing. In 2021, in today's day and age, that same group of people would try to cancel you suggesting you got it, you get a job, let alone one that doesn't pay you anything. So as for the Cowboys team Slater covers they were eliminated. We're not going to get into that. But anyway, moving along.

[Host]

No, what's that's the most important part.

[Big D]

They got eliminated. The Philadelphia Eagles. With the Philadelphia Eagles win on on Saturday, the Cowboys are limited.

[Promo Announcer]

Look at this.

[Big D]

Alec Pierce. What? He's having some night here. Big dude. And anyway, that's a scoop on Slater. She is alive and well, thank God. And last but not least, Taylor. Well, come on, we're following her.

[Host]

I mean jumping from story to live to story. I don't know.

[Big D]

Well, you know, we gotta keep track of. Yeah, Taylor Swift fans again rigged Pro bowl fan vote for Travis Kelsey making process as much of a joke as the event. This is Armando Salguero of Outkick. The Pro bowl was with was something that was of a joke for years, with players understandably declining to tackle or play at full speed to avoid injuries before the NFL rebranded the event as the Pro Bowl Games, which is equally uninteresting. Now they play flag football, right? But now comes yet another reason why the event needs to die altogether, the voting process. The voting, particularly from fans, is utterly ridiculous and obviously more rigged than the 2020 presidential election. How do we know this is out kicking? The NFL announced on Monday that Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, for the second conservative season, led all players in fan balloting for the Pro Bowl. I mean, Kelsey had a crappy year. Fan voting concluded a week ago and Kelsey garnered 420,000 votes. That's more than Josh Allen, more than Matthew Stafford, more than any running back or receiver or anyone playing in the league. Kelsey actually got 157,256 more fan votes than Allen, the next leading vote getter, likely the MVP of the season.

[Host]

[Host]

All right, 13 to the hour. Live from Studio 6B. We got a couple of the stories and get to some sports. But I know Paul and KDJ wanted to talk about the the video videos that you referenced before KDJ about Rob Reiner and the interview he did with or the sit down I guess. I don't know if it's an interview or what you call it, but I.

[Paul Nolan]

Call it an infomercial.

[Host]

So go ahead guys, do your slow pressure cooker. Who wants to start kdj? You want to start?

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Sure. So what happens is there's this video. It's John Brennan, formerly of the CIA, James Clapper, intel guru, and it's Rob Reiner. I don't. He's interviewing, interviewing them. I don't know what he's doing. They're talking about how it's a foregone conclusion that Trump Russia collusion was real and that's the only reason he won. They don't say, hey, what's the evidence about this? They're just going from the point that this is real and how bad things are going to get, how this is the end of the road, the end of democracy, because Trump Russia collusion. Now we know beyond the shadow of a doubt there was none. There's no Trump Russia collusion. The Mueller report proved that. That, and then the Durham report proved to us that there was never enough evidence to even start the Mueller report. It was all garbage. They ignore that, ignore that, and they go right into, yeah, he's guilty. How bad is it? And they paint this picture where we're all going to die and, you know, the sun's going to rise in the west and go down in these. And they just, they do it to scare people. This is an obvious psyop. And there's another one with some other people he interviews. It's much shorter. Same director, same producer, same everything. And I wrote this to just point out that this is a psyop and so many people are in on it and there are people who still believe Trump Russia collusion. And I just wanted to point out the psyop to that. And, Paulie, you were reading, you were watching the video too. You saw it, right?

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, I watched it. I did some. I broke it down. And for me, I. My opinion was this guy is such a ideologically entrenched leftist that he, he, you know, I've made infomercials in my previous life. There is no better infomercial than someone who truly believes the story they're selling. He's what I call a useful idiot. I truly don't think he is an op. I think he is being used because he is so easy to dupe. I think we have two spooks and a dupe, and I think he makes it so easy for the audience to really believe the story. Now, I know that I'll get pushback from some of the people that in the chat, but I do not think that he is an actual CIA operative kind of paid to, you know, you know, run the, the mission, so to speak. I think he is just the live testimonial for the Absolutely deranged. TDS whack a doodles who truly believe this fully manufactured deep state CIA intelligentsia scam.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Now see, I agree with you. I think he's a useful idiot. But I think they said, hey, we're going to make him political part of us. He might not know he's part of it.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what you're saying. Yes, that's exactly.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Does Rosie know she's part of it? De Niro, Alec Baldwin, do they know?

[Paul Nolan]

It's a good question. I think that they feel like they're so important that they're so easily used to sell the narratives and they're so self absorbed they think, oh, I have an Academy Award, everybody loves me. De Niro can't walk down the street without getting abused anymore, you know, so, you know, these people have overplayed their hand in my opinion. But I think, I don't think, think they have any idea that they are being manipulated and used. That's my opinion.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

I think, I think some of them know they are. I think most of them know they are, but I think they're happy to be used at this point.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, maybe you're right. That's a fair point. I got to be honest with you, to me at this, these, these people like when you see like a Dave Matthews or Bruce Springsteen and they think that they're on their pulpit and people care, I don't think they know they're being used. I think they are hook, line and sinker to the DEI AI. Climate change, one world global agenda. We're gonna have this harmonious planet. And I think they're just, I think they're fools and suckers.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

What about the production value of this thing?

[Paul Nolan]

Oh, fantastic.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Look, they've got that law and order camera that moves back and forth. They put some, the lighting is perfect.

[Host]

Well, I mean he's one of the iconic directors. You would think if someone's going to shoot something he would know how to do it.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Yep.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, it really was a J6 committee.

[Host]

Right. They didn't go hire the guy from the movie producer for no reason.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Yeah, they knew what they were doing.

[Paul Nolan]

So yeah, yeah, I would love to know the audience. Do you think he's a useful idiot or do you believe he is an absolute, fully informed CIA asset? Like one for useful idiot? Well, it's going to be a landslide because he's the idiot. But. Or two for he's an absolute full blown intelligent shit.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Now didn't the FBI and original.

[Host]

What's the difference between one and Two.

[Paul Nolan]

And one, they know. They don't know. Like one, he doesn't know that he's being used. He's sell, you know, he's showing his belief system and he's so excited to share the news with, you know, his audience, so to speak. Speak. The other is he's all right. This is the script we're following. This is the message we're selling. This is the pre programing we're doing.

[Host]

Okay.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

You know, like Brennan knows It's fake.

[Paul Nolan]

100%.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

You think Reiner, he thinks this is, this is real.

[Paul Nolan]

I believe he thinks it's real. Wow.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

He could. But then it makes him easier to use. Like you said, if someone believes it in an infomercial, they're even better for business.

[Paul Nolan]

Without a doubt. When you do an infomercial, if you have a full live 100% true testimonial, it sells 10 times better than a paid actor.

[Host]

All right, eight minutes to the hour. Let's do a little more sports. And then if we have time, we'll get to this Kristi Noem video slick. Well, give me our last sports report of the night. What's sponsored by MyPillow. What's going on?

[Big D]

Good game. Monday Night Football. Niners lead the Colts 2417 at the half. Back and forth, that game's gonna go right down to the wire. And I didn't get a chance to report on this because I was off Friday. But there was a big tragedy, obviously with that plane crash and guard star Greg Biffles deadly plane crash, which recalls several aviation tragedies to hit the sports world. And this was Ryan Gatos of Fox News. I don't have a lot of time, but you think back about Thurman Munson, you think about more recently the US figure skaters that crash in DC that had happened. Payne Stewart, of course, back in 99, and the great Roberto Clemente in 72. So just, just sad news all around. But to end it on a high note, Big D. This is from Barstool Sports Dante reporting. Frank the Tank is heading to Mike Muscle beach to work out with Arnold Schwarzenegger. The footage on this is going to be incredible. I can't wait. And yeah, Frank the Tank, well, so there he is Friday afternoon, scrolling Twitter when lo and behold, my feed shows the above tweet, Arnold the Arnold hitting Mateo Jenks back, telling him that Frank the Tank was a true inspiration and was now on his radar. What a wild world. Something even less expected that I should have expected after getting to know Jenks than what happened. Sadly, if an outpouring of with support from stoolies and just regular people who have been inspired by Frank's journey. Praising Frank and his journey to Schwarzenegger by the thousands. Schwarzenegger followed up saying that he'd be in contact, been in contact with Frank's team and they were making plans. It's unbelievable. So obviously Frank the tank, he lost, they say he lost several people. He's down to what, less than like 290 now.

[Host]

So he's lost like 200 and something pounds. And you know, he's done it all by just walking regular. Just walking.

[Big D]

Absolutely incredible.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah.

[Big D]

Probably watching his diet a little bit, but like you said, just a lot of steps. I don't know how many steps he's getting in a day, but frankly, really is an inspiration to so many people. If he could do what he's done, literally anything is possible. It's all the message he preaches. It's just about stacking one good day after another. Too bad his teams can't stack one. And that's a rapid sports league.

[Host]

Just don't do the Arnold Schwarzenegger deal on a day that the Mets play the Devils, the Devils or the Dolphins. As long as that happens, he'll be okay. But on any other day that those happen, you're in trouble. So Kevin Downey Jr. Had one more story. Let's get to this. Let's get to Christy Gnome today. Here's the video that Christine put out this morning.

[Paul Nolan]

Morning.

[Host]

Then the St. Petersburg.

[Commercial Announcer]

I'm Christine.

[Host]

Oh, I still have trolls and bots. That's still Reiner, I think. Yeah. All right, here's Kristi Noem from today. Sorry about that.

[Commercial Announcer]

I'm Kristi Noem, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. Thank you, President Donald J. Trump, for securing our border and putting America first. Let me deliver a message from President Trump to the world. If you are considering entering America, Illinois, legally, don't even think about it. Let me be clear. If you come to our country and you break our laws, we will hunt you down. Criminals are not welcome in the United States. For too long, weak leadership has left our borders wide open, flooding our communities with drugs, human trafficking and violent criminals. Well, those days are over. Under President Trump, we are defending American families and restoring their safety. If you try to enter illegally, you will be caught, you will be removed, and you will never return. Follow the law and you'll find opportunity. If you break it, you'll find consequences. Strong borders mean a stronger America. President Trump is making America safe again.

[Host]

And then she went on the news and said we're going to come up with a $3,000 plan payment. Right, Kev? If they want to get out on.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Their own y Normally it's 1000, but because Trump is in such a good Christmas cheery mood, he's giving it 3,000 to get out of Dodge.

[Host]

All right, well thanks everybody on the show. Aaron, your friend, Great job as always. Most of all, thank you to live from Studio 6B audience. We'll see you tomorrow night back here 8pm live from Studio 6B.

[Commercial Announcer]
