[Damon]

It was good. A little trouble with my picks this week. I wasn't too happy about that. A lot of throwing stuff at the tv.

[Host]

Little trouble.

[Rick Delgado]

Little trouble.

[Damon]

Man, I got blanked. I tell you, I can't figure the NFL out anymore. You got priests throwing holy water on the end zone. You don't know what's going to happen in these games anymore.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. All right.

[Host]

Well, we'll get to a recap of that and Slick and tell us exactly what happened on the odds makers this weekend. Rick Delgado's here. He's got main headlines. Mr. Delgado, how are you?

[Rick Delgado]

I am well. Happy New Year.

[Host]

Yes. We didn't see you on Friday.

[Rick Delgado]

Yes, they didn't see me on Friday because I was out. But I'm back, man, and what a good, a good time I had.

[Host]

How was your New Year's Eve? New Year's Day and weekend and everything?

[Rick Delgado]

New Year's Eve in Boston was awesome. Had, what do you call it? Went to see the, the comic Matt Rife, who was rife with comedy. He was, he was great. He was, you know, I've seen a bunch of clips of him online. Didn't know if he could handle the big, you know, 18,000 crowd. Arena handled it like a pro. Killed it. Killed it. So he's a funny dude. He's a funny D. Yeah, he is.

[Paul Nolan]

He's charming.

[Host]

His work with the audience is really good.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, he was crowded, spontaneous. Yeah, he was working this grandma pretty good. She was. She was the star of the show when he was done.

[Host]

Okay.

[Damon]

Was that your date?

[Host]

She wasn't sitting next to you, was she?

[Rick Delgado]

Stupid. Shut up.

[Host]

Okay, good. Well, we're off and running in 26. Here. Paul Nolan's here. Mr. Nolan, how are you?

[Paul Nolan]

I'm good, buddy.

[Host]

How was your weekend?

[Paul Nolan]

It was nice. A quick shout out to Vin Buddha. Did I say that right?

[Host]

No, Buta, buta.

[Rick Delgado]

That was a butter.

[Damon]

That was a beautiful job.

[Host]

But why are we shouting out Vin?

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, he just text me. Because I love these angel films. I watched them all as a born again guy. Like, I find myself not wanting to watch smut. I just. I don't like watching horror movies anymore. I don't like the shoot them up as much as I used to. However, I did see the Equalizer.

[Rick Delgado]

Not a great movie.

[Paul Nolan]

Oh, boy. The first one was fantastic. The third one, no, but I saw the second, which was good. But the first one was great.

[Damon]

Cisco and even on a show.

[Host]

But I've seen none of them.

[Rick Delgado]

On the coast of Italy is amazing.

[Paul Nolan]

And it was called the Shift. And then I watched. Well, anyway, I'd like to get into it with Vin. One night we said, we want to do a little segment on promoting some of these angel films.

[Host]

Oh.

[Paul Nolan]

Because they're part of the network now and they're beautiful. They're just nice, positive material. So that was my Sunday. I watched angel films.

[Host]

Okay.

[Rick Delgado]

Okay, well, don't go see the housemaid.

[Host]

You'll be.

[Rick Delgado]

You'll be.

[Host]

You'll.

[Rick Delgado]

You'll be horrified.

[Host]

Okay.

[Paul Nolan]

Okay.

[Host]

That's not an angel film.

[Rick Delgado]

I don't believe. No, it's not. But it sounds like Sydney Sweeney's in it.

[Host]

And, oh, my daughter would go see that. Oh, my. She got in the car and said, dad, that's the most wackest movie I've ever seen. It's just whacked out. Like, what is going on the whole time?

[Rick Delgado]

It was pretty wild.

[Host]

Friends.

[Rick Delgado]

Good stuff.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Paul Nolan]

Isn't whack bad in the hip hop community?

[Host]

Just wacky, though. Like, crazy stuff. Like, one's in the closet, the other one's pulling her hair out, the other one's pulling his teeth out because he's got night teeth.

[Damon]

And. No, it's like the Raven Steelers game last night.

[Rick Delgado]

That was whack. Watching him watching himself go04.

[Host]

Yeah. Kicker for the. The Ravens.

[Damon]

Yeah, he looped it.

[Host]

All right, well, we'll get to all of that, but let's start 2026. With tonight's first word. Well, happy New year again. It's 2026 and America is already roaring like a lion that just woke up from a four year nap under Biden. Have you ever been more proud to be an American than you were when you heard the details? That's right. Early Saturday morning, the news hit like a thunderclap. Delta Force, the very best. We have slipped in Caracas in the dead of night, snatched the narco terrorist Nicolas Maduro out of his fortified palace, blindfolded him and flew him straight to the USS Iwo Jima waiting offshore. Combat pilots lit up the key military installations on the ground to make sure nobody got any bright ideas about interfering. One night, zero American casualties. The illegitimate communist dictator who has been poisoning our streets, flooding our country with criminals and serving as a forward operating base for Russia, China, Iran and Cuba is now in a federal courtroom in New York City, where, by the way, he might feel right at home, given that Comrade Zohan Mandami is now running the place. But that's another story. President Trump warned Maduro weeks ago. Step down peacefully, go into exile, or the long arm of American justice will reach down from the sky and collect you. Vice President Vance put it best. Maduro is the newest person to find out that President Trump means exactly what he says. This wasn't some video game fantasy, folks. This was a high stakes, high risk warfare. We put our bravest in harm's way. Elite operators dropping into a hostile capital with a thousand things that could have gone wrong. One misstep, one lucky shot from a Cuban bodyguard, one unexpected Russian or Chinese reaction, and we could have been looking at a catastrophe. Secretary of War Pete Hexseth and our military planners threaded that needle with flawless precision. No American blood spilled. That's not luck. That's preparation, skill, and raw American courage. And don't think for a second the political risk was small. There is zero appetite in this country for new forever wars. Zero. If this had gone sideways and we needed to send in the Marines to extract our guys, the howling from the media and the squishes in Congress would have been deafening. But President Trump was ready. He told reporters afterwards that if things had heated up, the US Navy was steaming in with a quote, an armada like no one's ever seen before. He doesn't bluff. For months, Trump has been tightening the noose, squeezing Maduro's bank accounts, blowing up narco speedboats one by one, seizing illicit oil tankers. Kinetic strikes combined with crippling sanctions like a boa constrictor slowly crushing the life out of its prey. Then, when the moment was perfect, Delta Force cut the head clean off. Luck. Well, luck is for suckers and Democrats. Winners prepare relentlessly and seize the opportunity when it arrives. Only the Democrats are whining today and over the weekend. Shocker. Crying about international law and the Constitution while they ignore the hundreds of thousands of Americans who died from the fentanyl Maduro's cartel pipelined pumped right across our border. Everybody else who actually cares about this hemisphere security is cheering. We just sent the clearest message possible to every communist, narco, terrorist and guerrilla thug from Colombia to Cuba. Your days of using our backyard as a staging ground to wage war on the U.S. well, those are over. The Chinese delegation, They've got to be happy they were there posing for happy photos with Maduro just four hours before we bum rushed the palace. They watched American jets turn parts of Caracas into fireworks. And our operators grabbed their communist buddies like yesterday's garbage. You think Beijing's feeling more confident about invading Taiwan over that little demonstration? I don't think so. And in case anyone missed the symbolism, our pilots turned Hugo Chavez's gaudy mausoleum, that shrine to the dead dictator who took one of the richest countries in the hemisphere and turned it into a starving hellhole, where they turned it into a pile of smoking rubble, a fiery American middle finger, to 25 years of socialist tyranny. This operation reminds me of President Trump's daring strike on Iran's nuclear facilities back in June. Same high risk, same high reward. Calculated perfectly. Both times, failure would have wounded American prestige badly. Both times, flawless execution reminded the world that when America is led by strength, wars often end before they begin. Peace through strength isn't a slogan. It's reality when you have a president with the guts to back it up for a quarter century. Chavez, Maduro turned Venezuela into a hemispheric cancer, stealing American assets, exporting drugs, terrorists, slavery and chaos right into our country. Previous presidents, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden. They lacked the vision, the grit. Most of all, the backbone to do anything about it. We didn't need a new Monroe Doctrine. We just needed a new president. Watching Donald Trump juggle a dozen chainsaws while the rest of the political class can barely keep their balls in the air has been a revelation. The man is a multitasking genius on a level we've never seen before in the Oval Office. Folks. America is is winning again. I don't care what anyone says. Bigly, the enemies of freedom are now officially on notice in 2026. Well, it's just gotten started. And that's tonight's first word. All right, ten minutes past the hour, live from Studio six.

[Damon]

That was great. Yeah, that great.

[Host]

And boy, it was quite a weekend to see this unfold. And once again, kind of like, kind of like when we heard that the B2 bombers were ran, it was over before most people could stop, complain, could start complaining about it.

[Paul Nolan]

No, my toothbrush lasts longer in the morning, two minutes than this. The wars, like it's.

[Damon]

Oh, you mean, you mean precision?

[Rick Delgado]

You mean the war that everybody on all the liberals on Facebook freaked out about that. Oh, we're in a war now. You mean the one hour war that basically is not happening.

[Paul Nolan]

Meanwhile, they're okay with Ukraine being five years in and. Right. $3 trillion worth and what a million lives. They have no credibility. They have no, no leg to stand on. Especially because we haven't seen, you know, a US President go to Congress for war. And when, when was the last time we saw that?

[Rick Delgado]

I think it was Bush.

[Paul Nolan]

You know, and let's, let's be honest. We know the Bush family is, had their greasy grubby paws all over the war machine for 30 plus years. So this is nothing like that. This is not one of those American forever wars that just drain the taxpayer. This was a strategic punch in the throat and it was perfect in my opinion because this had so much to do with the whole geopolitical landscape from the, you know, the Panama Canal to short range missiles to, you know, embargoes on oil to China. And you know, to me, this was just a magnificent play.

[Host]

I mean, if you're, if your quote unquote war is over before your Keurig can brew your morning coffee, it's probably better to call it more of a spicy arrest than a war. I mean, let's be real about this.

[Paul Nolan]

I mean, there's more murder in Chicago on a weekend than there is in this removal of a legitimate psychopathic dictator and, you know, just, just an, an awful partner within striking distance of America we're really going to have. I mean, we went after Grenada, you know, look, we got to go to the break, but we could not let China, Russia, Iran have any kind of foothold in Venezuela.

[Host]

All right, 13 past the hour, just getting started.

[Rick Delgado]

All we do is go.

[Host]

Yeah, on a Monday. LFS xp. Chat, chat, chat. We're back right after this.

[Damon]

On? Well, let's recap the odds makers. Big D. We spoke about it a little bit earlier on in the show. How great I did not do. We had an amazing guest on Friday. Our own Mr. Nolan was the picker there and he actually let led the charge coming in at 502 and 2 and bringing the audience up to now 23, 27 and 1. A few more weeks. I think he may have them over.500 coming in at the last.

[Paul Nolan]

Minute. Are we going to do the.

[Host]

Playoffs? Of course we're going to do the.

[Paul Nolan]

Playoffs. I'd be the guy for the playoffs because I'll, I'll do some.

[Damon]

Homework. Five games on tack this weekend coming up. So Erin right now, Aaron, Erin was one in three. She got one winning, which is more than I can say. She's sitting at 53, 40 and 3 on the season and I'm at 48, 46 and 2. But boy, that was a big slip. I've really lost my touch here trying to figure out these games. It is so unpredictable this year. So let's start with the recap. Good game on Saturday. Buccaneers beat the panthers 16, 14. Unfortunately I laid three points. They only won by one. But you know, karma's karma. They got knocked out of the playoffs yesterday when The Falcons won 19 to 17 and the Panthers are now moving on to host the LA.

[Host]

Rays. What was the score of that.

[Damon]

Game? Was the score of the. Which.

[Host]

Game? The one you just talked.

[Damon]

About. 16 to.

[Host]

14. Okay.

[Damon]

Gotcha. BUCCANEERS over the Panthers. Unbelievable. But the Buccaneers all for naught because they ended up not making it eight. Nine made the playoffs in the NFC South. Do you believe that? Eight and nine. So by virtue of the Falcons win, it's a head to head tiebreaker. The Panthers, they slide into the playoffs there. And then the Seahawks Niners didn't even show up. They won 13 to 3. Sam Darnold 20 of 26, 198 yards. Seahawks take the top seed in the NFC. They have a first round by Brock Purdy. He got a little bit of a stinger, didn't play well at all. 19 of 27, 127 yards, new touchdowns. Texans in a tight.

[Host]

Game. To be fair, I don't think it's fair to say San Francisco didn't show up. I watched that game. Seattle's just that much better. I mean their defense is insane. They're back to like the. The Legion of Boom. I mean they are, they are really.

[Damon]

Good. They are playing well and then we'll see what happens. Texans, that was a tight game there with the Colts but 38 30. Unfortunately Aaron and Paul are on that game but they didn't cover. It was ten and a half. Was a lot of points to lay there and they only won by eight. Obviously they're going to now the Texans are playing the Steelers next Monday night. We'll get to the Steelers in a minute. Lions 1916 over the Bears. Aaron and I were on the Bears. We lost that one. Jared Goff from Detroit 2742331 yards and a touchdown as they close their season on a walk off field goal to win it all. And the Bears are hosting the Green Bay packers on Saturday night. The reason why the Bears are hosting the Packers. The Eagles lost to the Commanders in a game they really shouldn't have. But they started their backup. I guess they weren't planning on being too serious about it. So now the Bears will be hosting the packers again Saturday. Bills 358 over the Jets. Paul was on this one, only laying six and a half. He could have laid 25. It wouldn't have mattered. They took care of it. And that was with a backup quarterback in Mitch Trubisky, who came out 22 of 29. Four touchdowns, four tutties for him. 259 yards against a Jet defense for the first time in NFL history since they started in 1933. They had no interceptions this year. I mean, zero. And what makes it worse, the head coach was a former defensive back. Absolutely incredible. So right, Aaron. Come on.

[Host]

Aaron. Love.

[Damon]

It. Buffalo, though, is going to a tough game on the road against Jacksonville on Sunday. That's going to be a great one as.

[Host]

Well. Give me Buffalo for my.

[Damon]

Life. Oh, yeah. Well, all right. Mask singer debuts on Wednesday night. Too big. Just so you know. Season 27 programming note. Rams 3720 over the cards. I'm calling it now. MVP Matthew Stafford, quarterback had a great day. 25, 40259 yards and four touchdowns. Tom Brady himself even said it's going to come down to Drake May. And we know Brady, of course, former Patriot, and also Matthew Stafford. Stafford has the numbers. I think Stafford gets the MVP on a Rams team that Aaron's been riding all along. And Aaron got the win on that one. And the Rams are going to Carolina on Saturday afternoon. I think Big D wants. What do you want? You want the ranch and the Rams on that one as.

[Host]

Well?

[Damon]

No. Yeah. Oh, you think.

[Host]

Carolina's. Yeah. No, no, I'm not talking about the ra. I just don't want that touch that game. Give me Buffalo for my life and give me New England for my life. Those are my.

[Rick Delgado]

Two. Paul laid a lot of chalk right.

[Damon]

Now. You laid a lot of chalk in the Denver game. You were spot on, my man. 19 to 3 over the charges. They definitely did not show up. But Justin Herbert is. Herbert is nursing a hand injury, so they let him rest. He didn't play. They put Trey Lance in. Former Dallas Cowboy reject. 20 of 44, 136 yards running for his life. And obviously Bo Nixon had a kind of a pedestrian day too, too. 14 to 23, 141 yards. But that talk about defense, that Denver defense is also coming to play and Denver is the number one seed now in your afc. And last but not least was the granddaddy of Mall boy, I tell you, Steelers and Ravens, what a game. I mean, that had all the drama that was so, like I say, it was so mirrored of the NFL season the way it was. All these games. Crazy. You didn't know whether you're gonna win Lose? Of course I lost. I thought I had the game in the bag with 143 to go until Chidobe Awuze, former Dallas Cowboy another reject slipped and the Steelers go in. They go ahead and what do you know? Tyler Loop, he looped the kick to the right. Talk about wide right. It was unbelievable. They lost that game at the end.

[Paul Nolan]

Absolutely. And then the Steeler guy missed the extra point to make this even.

[Host]

Matter. Yeah, it would have been a game winning. They missed the extra points. So that was a game winner. 27, 26 walk off. If he had hit.

[Damon]

It. A kid that was 29 of 29 inside 45 yards this season. A rookie kicker and. Well, I think I know what the story is. Big D. You heard about the secret, right? There was a Catholic priest that blessed the Steelers field before thrilling the thrilling win over the Ravens. This is Warner Todhousin of Breitbart. This Pittsburgh Steelers appealed directly to God on Sunday ahead of their crucial game against the Baltimore Ravens by starting the game with a priestly blessing. Before the game started, the Steelers invited a local priest to the stadium to bless the playing field. Just before the Steelers 2624 Nile batting win. The Ravens clinching their over. The Ravens clinching their playoff spot and winning the AFC north title. This is from the New York Post. I think we have the cut. Aaron, do we have the cut of this preset? Look at this. I mean I would have thought it was last rights for the Steelers at that point. I thought the Ravens were going to win that game but oh no. And that was the end zone. See that goal post there? That's just the goal post that our friend missed it and missed that kick. So unbelievable. Big deal. It just incredible. Steelers won that kick after title loop missed the 44 yard field goal. I'm not going to ask questions. The Steelers team captain Cam Hayward of the blessing after the game. The good Lord made a good decision tonight. I'm thankful and keep moving on. So just an incredible story and well, something that should never happen though. The Ravens kick a Tyler Loop and fiance slam with hateful messages after season ending loss. This was Dylan Gwynn, Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop who had a chance to put the Ravens in the playoffs Sunday night with a 44 yard field goal. Who missed? Well, sure enough, all kinds of quotes. People are asking. I hope you get divorced. One person wrote. Still have time to cancel the wedding. Wrote another one fan even wished death on loops with loved ones. That's going a little too.

[Paul Nolan]

Far. It's all too.

[Damon]

Far. I mean, come on, it's like, it's like the Eagles, what do they have their offensive coordinator got his house egged? I mean, I get angry too, and I wish bad things sometimes when my team loses, I gotta admit it, I would never go to social media with it because that, that. Listen, if my, if my wife could tell you how I talk about some of these games, but I would never bring it.

[Paul Nolan]

Publicly. Big.

[Damon]

Day. I do it here. And when, when the cameras are off too, sometimes when watching the games. Oh, but I would never wish any, any harm on anybody. I would never wish any harm on any owners of teams or anything like that. I wish them all the best, all that they deserve. Unfortunately, I get the same deserve because my teams lose to doubt, protested. I know. And I am committed to my.

[Rick Delgado]

Teams. You should be.

[Damon]

Committed. Hey, look at VG Edgecomb slicing up the Knicks Saturday night. But we'll get into that another time. That's a.

[Host]

Wrap. If, if you were the, if the Cowboys were the Ravens last night, and I read it, If I, If I woke up to a headline that said, man in sparkly suit arrested outside for egging the. Wouldn't think two seconds about kidding.

[Damon]

Me. They would say, give that. Give me that. Even.

[Host]

Money. All right, we'll do some headlines with Delgado. News with Paul Nolan coming up live from Studio 6P right after.

[Damon]

This. That was a good.

[Paul Nolan]

One.

[Host]

Sam. Right. 30 minutes past the hour. Live from Studio 6B, we'll do some news. We'll get into the news. There's some. Something going on in Venezuela tonight. It's hard to figure out what. Right now we're watching reports of maybe fire, Maybe just a mishap by the Venezuelan. Whatever the government looks like they're now mistaking their own drones for enemy drones. Maybe friendly fire. I'm seeing reports of that as well. So there are videos out there showing gunfire and anti aircraft fire lighting up the skies over Caracas, Venezuela, but it's hard to figure out what this is. Is this just so we'll keep an eye on it. There's nothing definitive to report on right now, so we'll keep an eye on that. That earthquake in Japan tonight, we'll keep an eye on that. We'll get into some other news with Rick Delgado in a second. Let me go first. Paul Nolan, he's got some news. Mr. Nolan, what's going.

[Paul Nolan]

On? So, you know, we talk about these rental riots all the time. We talk about how, you know, the Soros clan and these, you know, a lot of the Muslim Brotherhood, they, they pay These rioters to go out there and, and make a ruckus. Right? We call that a ruckus, right.

[Host]

Delgado?

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah. And these people have no idea why they're there. We see guys like Nate Friedman and Nick Shirley and we see guys like, you know, out of the ground asking these people questions and they can't answer any of it. Like, you see over the weekend you saw a lot of Venezuelan people face to face with these paid protesters saying, I'm Venezuelan, don't tell me, hands off Venezuela. They saved our family, you know, so we saw this. So there's a guy named Adam Stewart. He's the CEO of Crowds on Demand, publicity firm that provides paid actors and temporary workers for various events. Various events. The business model is to openly advertise for services to create appearances of grassroots support, often called astroturfing. He pays people between 25 and $30 an hour. And I just think this should be considered a crime. He was on Fox News recently. I don't know if we have that queued up. Aaron, have you, I'm really intrigued with your business model. So, for example, how much are you paying these protesters in Washington D.C. well, when protesters, we don't comment on specific protests, but generally the range can.

[Damon]

Be from the low hundreds, the low.

[Rick Delgado]

One hundreds, into a few.

[Damon]

Hundred. It really depends on the location, the duration and any challenges that, for example, cold weather or early morning. You guys at Fox and Friends know all about getting up early in the.

[Paul Nolan]

Morning. We tend to pay people more in that. Obviously everything Crowds on Demand does.

[Damon]

Is peaceful and law abiding.

[Paul Nolan]

Protests. There's a lot. Can you believe this guy? Just saying it out in the open? I mean this to me, I just feel like if you're paying people to cause a ruckus, you're part of the problem. And I don't know, I, I, to me, this just feels wrong. And I think there should be some kind of, I don't know, I think there should be some kind of accountability for any kind of violence or any damage done. He is, he should be responsible for all of.

[Rick Delgado]

It. Well, it depends on if the people that are hired. Because I've heard this guy talk before and I've seen some of the stuff that they do and it's like, look, they're providing a service. These people don't have to sign up and do it. You know what I mean? I think part of what they do, and I'm not, you know, defending I really don't know, advocate, but is that, is that, you know, you're paid to show up, put on this shirt, do whatever, fine. You're basically, you're an actor for the day. Okay, I get it. People will realize that, hey, this is not really organic or, you know, real, and they'll point it out. But I think they draw the line at the, at the violence. They're like, if you get involved in any of that, we don't pay you, you're disavowed, you can't work for us anymore. I think they have those kind of stipulations.

[Paul Nolan]

Involved. He's the not. He hasn't paid one penny in a liability yet. Right. And that to me is the thing. Listen, you want a business, go have at it. Right? If there's a market for it, I'm all for the free market. I never once said he shouldn't be allowed to do.

[Rick Delgado]

It. If he's not going to do it, somebody else is. As long as it's not against the law. And is it against the law to pay people to show up, to do something, to walk around with a.

[Host]

Crowd? No.

[Rick Delgado]

No. But I do think we can hire them.

[Paul Nolan]

Too. Yeah, yeah. No, no, I think you missed what my point. My point is he should be fully accountable for the violence that happens and he should be fully accountable for any vandalism or damage to property. He should have to cover every bit of that cost. That should be that, that, that should be the free market of work. Wants to do it. Go.

[Damon]

Ahead. I just think it's pathetic repercussions for.

[Paul Nolan]

Ruckuses. So I guess this is what.

[Host]

They call what astroturfing.

[Paul Nolan]

Right?

[Host]

Yeah. What they call.

[Paul Nolan]

Ashtray. Yeah. And this is why the, the no kings had no, like there's no real momentum. You see what's going on down in Venezuela and you see it and thousands of people dancing and partying. You could tell the difference between an Astroturf rally for the same blue haired goofballs who are making $100,000 a year, you know, going to every single one of these things versus when people are joyous and in the street.

[Host]

Celebrating. Yeah. All right, we'll do some more news. Paul Nolan, let's get to. So we don't get too far behind, Rick Delgado's got some main headlines. Delgado, what's going.

[Rick Delgado]

On? All right, well, jumping off the back of your, your first word, Damon. The first edition of the world's greatest headlines in 2026 is going to include, of course, the ousted Venezuelan leader known as former President Maduro, who is arraigned in U.S. court today. Yeah, he got, he Got a little trip downtown. Former President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Celia Flores pleaded not guilty to federal drug trafficking charges and other charges today before a judge in the federal courthouse in Lower Manhattan. Their next court day, believe it or not, is scheduled for March 17th. They're being held at the Metropolitan Detention center in Brooklyn after being captured by the US Forces amid the attack that President, President Trump described as a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader following months of buildup. Here is President Trump talking about it and announcing that strike on Saturday. Cut number five. Check this out if you haven't seen.

[Paul Nolan]

It. Late last night and early today, at my direction, the United States Armed forces conducted an extraordinary military operation in the capital of Venezuela. Overwhelming American military power, air, land and sea was used to launch a spectacular assault. And it was an assault like people have not seen since World War II. It was a force against a heavily fortified military fortress in the heart of Caracas to bring outlaw dictator Nicolas Maduro to justice. This was one of the most stunning, effective and powerful displays of American military might and competence in American.

[Rick Delgado]

History. Yeah. The president also describing, of course, the, you know, some of the questions that he took, answering about what's going to happen next, saying the US Is going to run Venezuela to make sure things are done right in the time being. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also spoke saying President Trump has set the terms. And of course, the Democrats were usually out in force condemning this because they're always on the side of the dictators and the bad guys and the criminals and the drug dealers. Except for one guy named John Fetterman, Senator Fetterman out of Pennsylvania. Here he is with a quick reminder of what the Democrats have been wanting from Maduro this whole time. This is cut number six. Check this out. Cut.

[Paul Nolan]

Six. Now, remember, we all Democrats years ago wanted to eliminate him and they why, why have a bounty of $25 million if we didn't want him gone? Why would you do these things.

[Host]

If you weren't willing to actually do something? Think other than harsh.

[Rick Delgado]

Language. Yeah. And when you, when you think about the, when you think about the way the President described the military force and the precision that these guys went in and took care of business. And then you find out, then you find out some of the details later where Maduro was actually being protected by Cuban military. I guess because he couldn't trust his own people to protect him. That should be a major red flag. It's just amazing to see the flip flopping of Democrats when here's Karine Jean Pierre in a Flashback Damon. We know you love her because she's so great at her job. She was so great at her job. But here she is reminding everybody about the bounty on Maduro that they put up. Here's cut number seven. Check this.

[Paul Nolan]

Out. Quickly turn to Venezuela where Maduro once again demonstrated his complete disregard for.

[Rick Delgado]

Democrat norms and proceeded with his illegitimate.

[Paul Nolan]

Inauguration. As President Biden emphasized during his.

[Host]

Meeting with President elect Edmundo Gonzalez orutio.

[Rick Delgado]

On Monday, January 6th, we believe that.

[Host]

It is essential that the will of.

[Rick Delgado]

The Venezuelan people is respected. In coordination with our partners, we've.

[Paul Nolan]

Given Maduro and his representatives every opportunity to restore.

[Damon]

Democracy. But they.

[Rick Delgado]

Haven'T. So today we are building on all of our previous actions and taking further major actions. We announced new sanctions on key Maduro aligned officials as a zero.

[Paul Nolan]

Actionable. And we imposed more visa restrictions totaling nearly 2,000.

[Rick Delgado]

Individuals. We also increased the reward amount to $25 million for Nicolas Maduro and his so called called Minister of Interior as part of the Department of State's narcotics rewards program. So there you have.

[Damon]

It. We had a bounty out for.

[Rick Delgado]

Him. Yeah, they had the bounty out. The Biden administration actually put the bounty out on him. And of course you know, the Democrats were complaining in the first President Trump term that he didn't do enough to get Maduro out. Now that he's done it, they flip flop and they're complaining that he's doing too much. All of that except for actually someone you might not not expect. This is Anna Navarro from the View. Yeah, Damon, your favorite show. Listen to what she says about the capture of President Maduro. This is cut number 11. Check this.

[Paul Nolan]

Out. Your question, who voted for this? The people in South Florida, the Venezuelan community, the Cuban American community, the Nicaraguan American community voted for.

[Damon]

This. And for us this is a.

[Host]

Very, very happy day when we see.

[Damon]

A dictator who has been part of.

[Paul Nolan]

Oppressing and abusing the Venezuelan people for 25 years. When we see him in handcuffs and held to some sort of accountability, it brought me into tears, it brought.

[Damon]

Me great joy and you know, I.

[Paul Nolan]

Live in South Florida, but are you.

[Rick Delgado]

Okay with the way that it was.

[Host]

Done? But you can, I think both things can be.

[Rick Delgado]

True. Okay. I think you can criticize sunny.

[Paul Nolan]

Not so sunny hospitals and have concerns about the way it was done done and what this means in the future. Right. And I think you can still.

[Rick Delgado]

Celebrate that this murderous, corrupt, sadistic son.

[Paul Nolan]

Of a bitch is out of Venezuela.

[Rick Delgado]

Because he has, I think there's 8.

[Paul Nolan]

Million Venezuelan exiles all over the.

[Host]

World. People have fled from this man's tyrannical.

[Rick Delgado]

Rule. So for.

[Host]

Me.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. So there you have.

[Host]

It. The way it was done. Does Sonny. Sonny have some opinions on how it should have been.

[Rick Delgado]

Done? Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Yeah. I think you have a.

[Host]

Different. Different.

[Rick Delgado]

Way.

[Damon]

Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

Overt. I don't.

[Host]

Know. Rowboats should have gone well, what is she talking.

[Rick Delgado]

About? She seemed very happy with the way it was done and it's amazing what what she said in the beginning of that clip. She said this is what we voted for. Where have we heard that before? On this show and across across the country. When it comes to the. The policies of this president, this is what we voted.

[Host]

For. I don't watch the View because I don't like to throw up after I eat breakfast. But did it, did Sonny actually explain. She means but from the way it was done. What does that mean? I mean the way it was done. What, what, what did she have in.

[Rick Delgado]

Mind? She was complaining about the person who's in.

[Paul Nolan]

Charge. She never heard of once complain about.

[Host]

It. It was.

[Paul Nolan]

Done. Regime changed through Obama's whole.

[Damon]

Presidency. Yeah, they took.

[Paul Nolan]

Action. No.

[Host]

Credibility. All right, 17 to the hour. We'll come back to some more headlines, more sports all coming up on a Monday night live from Studio 6B right after this. Please don't go. Please don't go. All right live from Studio 6 Pizza Crazy Town incoming tomorrow. Coming in hot, coming in, coming in fiction 13 to the hour live from studio 6p6 doing sports, Paul Nolan's doing some news. Rick Delgado's doing some main headlines. Well, lots to get to. We'll keep track of what's going on in the news tonight. A couple things on. Do you have more on this Maduro thing? We'll get back to you but sure I'm interested. Why the federal government? I know this was originally where they filed I guess 2020 this when started thinking about whatever I think they filed the original indictment against him in 2020. Right. But why bring. I just wonder why New York still is the place they felt like they wanted to do this. Now they get a 92 year old judge I think Clinton appointed. You've got Mondami in. You've got New York again tripping over prayer mats now outside Broadway shows and I'm wondering why they bring this in New York and maybe is a change of venue something that they need to think about or do they just go ahead with this given all the pre trial stuff we're going to see the main this whole trial probably won't be till 2027. Anybody else? Anybody Else thought about.

[Rick Delgado]

This. I heard some lawyers discussing this on another network and they seem pretty confident that the. Of all the places to do it, the Southern district of New York is the best equipped place to do something like.

[Paul Nolan]

This. I mean, the.

[Rick Delgado]

Place. Because of all the assets in the history.

[Host]

Too. It's still going to come down to a jury pool, isn't it, though? I know they've got all the assets and.

[Rick Delgado]

All. From what I understand, the judge is really solid on.

[Host]

This.

[Rick Delgado]

Okay. Yeah. They seem very confident that this is. This is the place they want this. This trial to be.

[Host]

Done. Okay. So seems to me that given the scenario in New York right now, you could easily find some jurors sympathetic to. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe I'm way off base here, even pondering this question, but seems the reason I thought about it is because I saw this tweet tonight from, I think it was Poly Market, and then retweeted out by the governor of Florida, who, of course is always on the move. Polymarket breaking tonight. Maduro no longer projected as. As a favorite to be found guilty on all counts. Do you think a New York City jury could let him walk? And DeSantis says, I don't know. But I bet those odds would be different if and when Maduro faces state charges in.

[Paul Nolan]

Miami. Might be a.

[Host]

Move. Here he is, man, he is just always on the move. But I don't know. Yeah, that's what made me start thinking about why are we in New York in the first.

[Paul Nolan]

Place. I mean, every time something goes through the sdny, it's the Comey family. It's every. Like the Clinton, all. Every conspiracy dies.

[Damon]

There. Like the daughter's working on the keys, the daughters.

[Host]

Out.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah. The whole infrastructure there is so corrupt for so long. I don't want. It's been so corrupt for 20.

[Damon]

Years. They're still.

[Paul Nolan]

Ghosting. We hear about Comey's daughter.

[Rick Delgado]

Left. They did get Noriega and a bunch of others through there. So, look.

[Paul Nolan]

They. They handle the biggest narcotic cases in the world there, no question about it. But I don't trust the Southern district of New York at all, not even a little.

[Rick Delgado]

Bit. My question is because who benefited from Maduro staying in charge all that time? It's like, all right, whose names might he, you know, might he try to leverage? Are there any senators or representatives.

[Paul Nolan]

That. Well, there's a lot of people on his payroll. There's no question about that. But listen, Venezuela has been manipulated by the Bush family and the CIA When Jeb Bush went down there, after we clipped over to the petrodollar and, and this has been a scam on the Venezuelan people for 30, 40 years. I mean, in 71, they tried to manipulate oil prices. They end up getting the Venezuelans to nationalize their entire oil business. And then what happens? OPEC pumps out 5 million gallons a day and barrels a day and it essentially forces Venezuela to go over to the imf, have to borrow money to keep their country afloat. It was like a 10 year process to destroy them. This is, this is like to me part of that whole long term neocon plan. So I just feel like Trump once again has just put his foot on the throat of the globalists. And I don't know, man, I just, I can't wait to see how this plays.

[Host]

Out. Yeah, I mean, there are some questions though, given, I mean, as well as the, the, the night went, that night, there are some questions about the President's press conference afterwards. Because when you listen to it, the key takeaway is that he says that we're, we're running Venezuela now. Right. And who's running it? Well, we're not. You know, it's going to be a what, whatever he said. And I mean, I don't, I don't know that there's much appetite for that.

[Paul Nolan]

Either. I wish he was. I wish he didn't go off script.

[Host]

There. And I watched great messaging, I watched Rubio on all the Sunday shows try to take this question and they're in there. I mean, I didn't really expect that he could flat out just give you a straight answer because it's obviously more complicated than that. But then there wasn't much clarity.

[Rick Delgado]

In.

[Host]

Right. Really what, what the hell is going on here now? Because, well, you know, as hard as that was, people will say that was the easy part. Now what happens? And we've all seen this movie play out before in other places.

[Rick Delgado]

Right. I think what's going to end up happening is Marco Rubio is going to get another job running Venezuela. I mean, think about it. He's probably the best equipped for.

[Damon]

It. Yeah, I thought he was.

[Rick Delgado]

Great. Where he's from, his history, in terms of his Cuban background, what he's done, you know, in his short time as Secretary of State has been amazing. I think he could probably handle, you know, kind of overseeing everything going on in, in.

[Paul Nolan]

Venezuela. I mean, if he's definitely equipped be, you know, the narco Rubio and his CIA background. I mean, if we're going to get what we want out of that regime change, you might as well go all in. But to me, what was so fascinating is that every other one of these regime change ends up being one story after another. Trump just comes out and says it. No, no, we wanted the oil. Yeah. We want to control it. We didn't want China to get it. We didn't want Russia. Again, we don't want. He just came out. He's like, wait a second. Aren't we supposed to have conspiracy theories here? He just comes out and.

[Rick Delgado]

Says. Came out and said.

[Paul Nolan]

It. I was waiting for.

[Damon]

Funny. Drill, baby.

[Rick Delgado]

Drill. Think about how that affects the entire region over there. China, Russia, you know, everybody's affected.

[Paul Nolan]

Now. Yeah. You think about how many embargoes like in that get completely bypassed to China. This. This cripples.

[Rick Delgado]

China.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah. This is huge. This. It definitely hurts Russia in some ways, but it kind of benefits Russia and the natural gas front and other natural resources. But to me, at the end of the day, Iran gets pummeled, and now Iran can't get oil. And now what happens now? Ir it puts more pressure on the Mullers in their economy to cave in and crumble. I mean, this is a big win. I mean, there's so many pieces of this. The dominoes are falling.

[Host]

Everywhere. And did you guys see that before they brought him to New York City, that Maduro made it one extra stop in D.C. did you see. See this? I don't know if you. I saw this one picture. Stop by the. Stop by the hat room just in.

[Rick Delgado]

Case. It's got to be embarrassing for him that a former McDonald's worker actually got him look like he had the.

[Damon]

Job. The Fetterman collection on.

[Host]

Too? Yeah. Nike's got to be the real winner here after that jumpsuit we've seen from him. He's gone through about a hundred outfits, I think, since he got in New York. I know.

[Rick Delgado]

Crazy. And he's always got the same, you know, wraparound Terminator sunglasses.

[Host]

On. So I thought that was pretty.

[Paul Nolan]

Good. Saddam.

[Host]

Mustache. What else? Still.

[Rick Delgado]

Got. Yes, well, you could talk about the people that are celebrating. I mean, Venezuelans are freaking out across South Florida. They.

[Host]

Celebrated. Now, I've heard this is not.

[Rick Delgado]

True. I don't.

[Paul Nolan]

Know. There is.

[Rick Delgado]

Some. There is a lot of celebrating going on. Miami Herald is. Is running video of it. Here is a cut, number eight of Venezuelans breaking out in the streets in Venezuela, chanting and celebrating. This is cut.

[Host]

8. Yeah. Now, most people say that this is not true. They say this is after some soccer.

[Damon]

Games. The World cup looks.

[Rick Delgado]

Like. Well, they're saying, they're saying se, which means go.

[Host]

Away. Yeah, well, that was, they were saying that to the team they were.

[Damon]

Playing. Yeah. Like na, na, na.

[Host]

Goodbye. You know, I mean, I'm just telling you that I think Bannon had somebody on this morning. Maybe it was Posobic or somebody was. Or it was Richard Barris. I think I saw next it said that none of these videos of Celebration have been from people who are on the ground there. I think it was our own Oscar Blue that I saw on the network say that a lot of these videos they don't believe are, are accurate. That that's actually not the.

[Paul Nolan]

Feeling. I've asked rock on 10 of 15 of these videos and apparently most of them that I'm seeing are.

[Host]

Real.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. And again, I'm, I'm looking at the pictures in the videos out of the Miami Herald. They seem to be, they seem to be backing that up. Venezuelans in Doral celebrating as.

[Host]

Well. All right, live from Studio 6P. We'll do more. And we get back right after.

[Paul Nolan]

This. If your television sounds funny in the evening, you're watching live from Studio.

[Host]

6B. All right, you are watching live from Studio 6B, hour two already on a Monday, January 5th, 9 o' clock on the east Coast. Slick's gonna do some more sports here. Coming up in a sec. Doug Otto's got some more main headlines. We'll get into. Oh, Timmy, Timmy, Whoa, Timmy, Timmy, Timmy here in a little bit. Aaron and Fran holding it down as always. But right now, let's go back to Paul Nolan. He's got some news. And, and this one, again, this falls in the old category of told you. Yeah. I mean, really should no one. You should just be really like, ho hum, of course. Right. Because there's no secrets here. They didn't, they didn't try to mask who they are. We've talked about these kind of things. We've talked about fa, fh, fo, Cory Booker, Biden, Obama all the way through the eights to the sixth, 2016. Trump finally got rid of it with Dr. Ben Carson. Biden tried to bring it back. And now finally this thing hopefully is dead. But we knew that they wanted to change single family housing. They wanted to change private property rights. And obviously Mandami, being a little communist, doesn't believe in any of that in the collective whatever, whatever that he talked about the other day. And then we see this clip. So, Paul, what's. Who is this.

[Paul Nolan]

Beauty? Well, this is Sia Weaver. She's the director of the. Of the tenants association, I guess you could say it, to protect the tenants, whatever that means. So basically, if you're a landlord in New York, you might as well just take your money and burn it to, you know, just. It's more productive. In the first few days as the mayor, he signed three executive orders to confront the city's housing crisis to revitalizing the mayor's office to protect tenants and establish two new task forces. Accelerating housing construction, getting New Yorkers into homes faster and increase supply by identifying suitable city owned properties. One of the things is that if you own an apartment building, you cannot sell it without offering it to the state first. The state then gets to decide if they want to buy it and then if they give you an offer, you're allowed to put on the market again. Then if you get a better offer now the state is allowed to match it. It, if they match it, they get to take that property. This means you've got a property you want to sell. It could take up to two and a half years. Think about what, what this is doing to property rights. So check out this communist all star and the way she views your.

[Host]

Property. I think the reality is, is that for centuries we've really treated property.

[Damon]

As an individualized good and not a collective.

[Host]

Good. And we are going to, in.

[Damon]

Transitioning to treating it as a collective.

[Host]

Good and towards a model of shared equity will require that we think about it differently. And it will mean that families.

[Damon]

Especially white families, but some POC families who are homeowners as well, are going to have a different relationship to property.

[Paul Nolan]

Than the one that we talk.

[Rick Delgado]

About. Different relationship to property? You mean like the relationship she has to the.

[Paul Nolan]

Son? I mean, what an awesome star. I mean, you kidding me with this woman? I mean, does she not look like the part. I mean, I don't know how they're going to get away with this, but I mean this is going to have to go to a court. I think I posted something on my X feed today. Activism is always a way for useless people to feel important, even if the consequences of their activism are counterproductive for those they claim to be helping and damaging to the fabric of society as a whole. That was a Dr. Thomas Sowell quote and this woman personifies that. So I just figured I'd give you that. Good news, fellow New Yorkers. I hope you're not planning you're better off buying land in Iraq right now than New York.

[Rick Delgado]

City. Yeah, no.

[Host]

Doubt. Now I guess that video is not necessarily since she's been. Since he got sworn in those. That's a video, I believe, of some of her earlier.

[Paul Nolan]

Thoughts.

[Host]

Yeah. I think what happened with this girl.

[Rick Delgado]

2019.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Paul Nolan]

She.

[Host]

She. She banished and killed her ex account. I think as soon as her. As soon as her name came up to be a part of his transition team, I think she killed her ex account. Because I'm seeing things all over X about some of her.

[Paul Nolan]

Former.

[Host]

Yeah. Tweets that people had to capture because she killed the ex.

[Paul Nolan]

Account.

[Host]

Yes. Things like impoverished the white middle class. Home ownership is racist, failed public policy. That's one of her all star.

[Paul Nolan]

Hits. She has a lot of.

[Host]

Them. Private property, including in kind of especially home ownership, is a weapon of white supremacy masquerading as wealth building public.

[Rick Delgado]

Policy. Oh, don't Forget this one. June 13, 2018. Damon, she just wrote, seize private property. Property just sees.

[Host]

It. So.

[Rick Delgado]

That'S. That's. That's who's going to be protecting the tenants in the city of New York. Unless of course, you're a tenant. That.

[Paul Nolan]

Actually. How does he hire this.

[Host]

Activist? Now, see, the lesson here, boys and girls, is as always, is that the left pulls no punches. They wear no masks. When they take power, they. They don't play kumbaya when they take power. They don't sit around and think, well, how do we all get along? When they take power, they go for the jugular. They go for it hard, fast and without any. They don't. There's just no consideration of anything else. It's just go for the kill and that's it. And there's no excellent little brats.

[Paul Nolan]

Who want it all for.

[Host]

Themselves. This is somebody who should be living in North Carolina, Korea, not living here. Her beliefs and the mayor's beliefs and all the people he's going to surround himself with, they should all be sent to North Korea because that's where they fit in. That's. That's how they want to live. That's how they want you to live. And that's what they believe in. That's. They. They adore how that country is run, not how this country is run.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. The fact that Mamdani said in his inauguration speech, there's a, you know, what is it? No, no. Nothing the government won't help you do. Basically, they'll step in and help out everywhere they.

[Host]

Can. There's no. There's no problem too small the government can't help fix. Or something like.

[Rick Delgado]

That. Something like.

[Host]

That. Remember this. This woman also. Now. Now this is of course, the irony of it. You'll never see them Say, well, no, no, I, I can't take that salary. She'll make 100 something thousand dollars in her position as the new appointed tenant advocate.

[Paul Nolan]

Director.

[Host]

Yep. And for the.

[Paul Nolan]

Mayor. And don't be surprised if she has NGOs pumping money and she's going to make money like AOC. Was AOC worth like 10 million.

[Damon]

Now? Oh.

[Paul Nolan]

Wow. Yeah, she's a real, real.

[Host]

Socialist. And she went to college here. Briarmore College, 2010. Lives in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Grew up in Rochester, New.

[Paul Nolan]

York. Doesn't shave her.

[Host]

Armpits. Father is a professor of history at University of.

[Rick Delgado]

Rochester. Shaves her.

[Host]

Eyebrows. PhD at Stanford. So, you know, the countries worked well for them, as always with all of these people. And then they get out and they get into these positions and it's like, oh, private property, home ownership. Ooh, bad. Transition, transition, change, transition. Just crazy. So, all right, we'll do some more. Is that it, Paul? Anything.

[Paul Nolan]

Else? That's it for.

[Host]

Now. All right, let's do some sports. Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell. LFS XP is the promo code to you, slickster. What's going.

[Damon]

On? RBD Chechia tops Canada faces Sweden in all European world junior final. AP Report St. Paul, Minnesota. Thomas Palatin scored on a deflection off his skate with 114 left. And Chechia beat Canada 64 on Sunday night's advance to face Sweden in the first all European world junior hockey final since 2016. Earlier, Anton Frondel scored in the eighth round of a shootout to give Sweden the 43 victory over Finland. The final is tonight. In the last all European final, Finland beat Russia 43 in overtime in Helsinki. Back in 2016, Chechy and Sweden are each tying to win, trying to win their third title. Chechi won in 2000 and 2001. And Sweden 1981 and 2012. Obviously United States, they lost on Friday night in the quarterfinal. They fell to Finland 4 to 3. So bring you up to date on the World Juniors. Obviously, the playoffs, right? Not the playoffs. The Olympics are coming up shortly. I got about what, four or five weeks we'll have Olympic ice hockey with NHL players in there, and it's going to be great. But this was good hockey, Paul. I know you were following it quite a bit. And I'll tell you, these kids could really play.

[Paul Nolan]

Huh? Oh, it's.

[Damon]

Amazing. You look.

[Paul Nolan]

At. You look at. Each team is carrying at least 10 NHL.

[Damon]

Players. Yes.

[Paul Nolan]

Absolutely. The talent level on that ice of those kids all under 20 years old is off the chart.

[Damon]

Fantastic.

[Paul Nolan]

Yep. And again, from a coaching standpoint. Czechoslovakia check completely dismantle Canada and Canada can't lose.

[Damon]

Enough. Unfortunately, the US Came up a little bit short too, but that's the way it goes. We'll see how the Olympics pan out because I know Canada is going to be looking to do good there. But Paul and I will be rooting for the good old US Of A. Novak Djokovic severs ties with Tennis Players association he co founded this is Paul Boy, a Breitbart tennis icon Novak Djokovic severe severed ties with Professional Tennis Players association, the PTPA this weekend due to ongoing concerns regarding transparency, governance and the way my voice and image have been represented. Djokovic severed severed his ties despite having co founded the union with vasak popsil in 2021. In March 2025, the union sued the association of Tennis Professionals and the Women's Tennis association over allegations of systemic abuse, anti competitive practices and a blatant disregard for player welfare. Djokovic, however, disagreed with some of the allegations, which the ATP and WTA strongly disputed. After careful consideration, I've decided to step away completely from the Professional Tennis Players association, djokovic announced on X. The decision comes after ongoing concerns regarding transparency, governance and the way my voice and image of them presented. I am proud of the vision that the Vasak and I shared when co founding the ptpa, giving players a stronger independent voice, but it has become clear that my values and approach are no longer aligned with the current direction of the organization. I'm sure the vaccines didn't make them too happy either, because I know they were pressuring him about that a couple of years ago, too, during COVID as we recall, how he really fought that. He's quite a champion against that, so. And that's a rap in sports. Big day. Back to.

[Host]

You. All right, slick. 11 minutes past the hour. Live from Studio 6B, let's do some more headlines. Rick Delgado's got them all. Timmy, Timmy. Oh, Timmy.

[Damon]

Timmy pulled the last.

[Host]

String. Oh, Timmy.

[Rick Delgado]

Timmy. Yeah, I don't have a lot. I got a couple clips for Tim Walsh. So you want me to hold this to the next segment.

[Host]

Or. Yeah, we can hold it. Because I just want to relive. Let's just. I want to relive for just one second. And as Timmy oh, Timmy. Timmy's on his way out. Let's just. I just want to watch. Just. Oh, hey. Okay. Oh, Timmy, Timmy. He is so flamboyant leaving the governorship and not re running to take a job as a cheerleader with the Vikings, I.

[Damon]

Think. Ah, good.

[Host]

Move.

[Damon]

Yeah. Let us not forget how close he came to being our.

[Paul Nolan]

Vp. I mean, I mean, he. He'd be better off, like, just being a dance mom on that TV show. Like, he is such a character to.

[Host]

Scoop. If Kamala Harris has any thoughts of trying to do this again in 2028, and I'm being serious now, this should. What's happened here with her handpicked choice for vice president should rule her out of ever being able to even think about. About running again. Because that of all the people, Josh Shapiro, all the other people she could have chosen, she said no. Put that back up there in the.

[Paul Nolan]

Frame. I don't believe she had.

[Host]

A. That guy is my guy. That's my guy right.

[Paul Nolan]

There. She had no say in it. She was a.

[Damon]

Puppet. She.

[Paul Nolan]

Was. She was going to have less say than.

[Host]

Biden. No, no, no. She picked him 100%. That's no.

[Paul Nolan]

Way. All.

[Host]

Her. Right.

[Paul Nolan]

There. Her bosses said, this is who you're.

[Host]

Getting. She said, that's the guy for.

[Damon]

Me. Let's go to break on the road.

[Paul Nolan]

Again. We should work on a dance number in honor of Tim.

[Damon]

Walsh. Red light on countdowns dropping Coffee's cold but the screen is popping? You say my name before I speak? Rolling in fast like a Friday.

[Paul Nolan]

Stream? Chat, chat, chat.

[Damon]

Chat? Hear the roar in the back.

[Paul Nolan]

From the couch, from the phone, from.

[Damon]

The porch out past the tracks you talk back crack wise, keep me honest where I'm at. We're live from Studio 6B with the chat, chat.

[Host]

Chat? I sound like the blue 17 past the hour we talked to you about our friends at Birch Gold. The new year means new financial goals, like making sure your savings are secured and diversified. Will this be the year that you finally listen to me and talk to someone from our friends over at the Birch Gold Group? I think it might be. Honestly, they are great people as you've heard about them here for quite a while on this network, on this show. I appreciate their educational approach and their understanding of macroeconomics. They are forces. There are forces pushing the dollar lower and gold higher, which is why they believe every American should own physical gold. So until January 30th, if you're a first time gold buyer, listen up here. Birchgold is offering a rebate of up to $10,000 on qualifying purchases. To claim eligibility and start the process, just text America to 989-898. Birchgold can help you roll an existing IRA or 401 into an IRA in gold. Gold and you're still eligible for a rebate of up to $10,000. So what you want to do is make right now, right now your first time to buy gold and take advantage of this rebate up to $10,000 when you buy by January 30th. Text America to 989-898, claim your eligibility today. Again, text America right now to 98989 and see if gold is right from you, from our friends over at the Birch Gold group. All right, 18 past the hour, live from Studio 19 past the hour, live from Studio 6B. Let's do some headlines. We've got time now to get into it. Oh, Timmy, Timmy, Timmy. Oh.

[Rick Delgado]

Timmy. Oh, yes, Damon is Governor Tim Waltz. You alluded to him earlier. He is ending, ending, believe it or not, his reelection campaign with zero regret, though, of course, he spend the entire time making this announcement, finally getting to the announcement by blaming Trump and Republicans around the country as the Minnesota governor has announced with zero sadness and zero regret and zero talent in ending his reelection campaign before denouncing politics and the president. Across, across the across the aisle of estates widening fraud scandal, here is Tim waltz. Cut number nine. Finally saying what? We waited more than 10 minutes for him in his stupid speech to say that he's not going to run, but he blames Trump. Cut number nine. Check this.

[Host]

Out. Election years have a way of ramping up the politics at a time.

[Damon]

When we simply can't afford more of that.

[Host]

Ministry. Minnesota. In September, I announced that I would seek a historic third term as Minnesota's governor. And I have every confidence that if I gave it my all, we would win the race. But as I reflect on this moment with my family and my team over the holidays, I came to the.

[Damon]

Conclusion that I can't give a political campaign my.

[Host]

All. Every minute that I spend defending my own political interest would be a minute I can't spend defending the people of Minnesota. Minnesota against the criminals who generosity.

[Paul Nolan]

Can'T spend money he.

[Host]

Stole. I tried to.

[Paul Nolan]

Last. He can't afford what I can't spend the time yet because I can't spend my money because I got so much of it.

[Rick Delgado]

Now. Well, he can't can't afford the time trying to cover up all his crimes if he's running for governor. As a matter of fact, Waltz had been running virtually unopposed. Damon for the Democratic nomination for the state. Tim Pawlenty, the Republican was the last one elected to Minnesota governor in 2002 before leaving office in 2011. Trump members of the administration, Republicans in Congress have been investigating accusations of widespread fraud in Minnesota with prosecutors suggesting at least 9 billion may have been stolen since 2018, here is cut number 10. There's Tim Walt basically wrapping up his press conference and storming off like a petulant child, taking no questions. Cut number 10. Check number this.

[Host]

Out. I'm proud of the way that we welcome people to this.

[Paul Nolan]

State. I'm proud of the way that.

[Host]

We innovate and I'm proud of the.

[Paul Nolan]

Way that we are optimist for the future. No one's taking this away from us. Not the fraudsters. Certainly not this.

[Host]

President. Not on my watch. Tomorrow I'll be back with you. I'll give you an update on America's best paid family medical leave program that is now a week into it. And at that time, I'll take all your questions. Thank you.

[Rick Delgado]

All. There he goes, running for his life because he doesn't want to answer.

[Host]

Questions. People saying thank you, press before he got done with his last word there.

[Paul Nolan]

Wow. Oh.

[Host]

Boy. By the way, as a follow up to what we said in the hour one, it does look like. Now, the report is that the Venezuelan Presidential guard misidentified their own drones as enemy aircraft tonight, resulting in a friendly fire incident that people were putting posting videos of over the skies of Caracas earlier.

[Rick Delgado]

Tonight. So they're 72 hours late in shooting at stuff in the.

[Host]

Sky. Yeah, They weren't going to shoot.

[Paul Nolan]

The other night or that Tortuga Express. They just put messages on the back of. You know, this is just too funny. Is this really what's happening? They're killing each other.

[Host]

Already? Well, I think they wanted to show that maybe they could do something. Maybe they planned this. Okay, well, let's make it look like we can. We could have. I don't know. But the report is the Venezuelan Presidential guard misidentified its own drones tonight as enemy.

[Paul Nolan]

Aircraft. What a formidable.

[Host]

Foe. Resulting in a friendly fire incident this.

[Rick Delgado]

Evening. Yeah. Taking out their own drones. Good.

[Paul Nolan]

Work. Oh.

[Host]

Boy. That's the. That's the report as of Right. Right now.

[Rick Delgado]

Wow. All.

[Host]

Right. Anything more on tampon.

[Rick Delgado]

Timmy? On tampon Timmy? No, I mean, of course, you know, he's under. Is still.

[Host]

Under. We're just basically saying his career here. He's pulled the final.

[Paul Nolan]

Straight. If he doesn't get locked up.

[Host]

Period.

[Paul Nolan]

Right. Literally. Did you just say it's over.

[Rick Delgado]

Period? Yes, of.

[Host]

Course. That's.

[Rick Delgado]

It. You know what he meant. That would be the end of it. That's what he means. Yes. Nothing to be read into that.

[Damon]

Paul. Final.

[Rick Delgado]

Sentence.

[Damon]

Yes. Before they join dodge.

[Rick Delgado]

Him.

[Paul Nolan]

Right. Did you before say he has pulled his last string.

[Host]

Yes. Yeah, he said.

[Paul Nolan]

That.

[Host]

Right? That's.

[Paul Nolan]

It. Just making.

[Host]

Sure.

[Paul Nolan]

Okay. I want to make sure everyone heard.

[Rick Delgado]

This. Yes, yes. The curtains, Damon.

[Paul Nolan]

Curtains. You know, think about it like it was easier to go into a country and take out a dictator than it was to find a Somalian kid in a daycare.

[Host]

Center.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, I know that's true. I saw somebody wrote, philip Rivers has more kids than they have.

[Damon]

In. Yeah.

[Paul Nolan]

True. Because he's got 10 of them and a football.

[Rick Delgado]

Team. Just amazing. But, yeah. So there you have it. Of course, this all fueled by the video released a couple of weeks ago by Nick Shirley, the citizen journalist who uncovered all the alleged fraud over the matter of days being, you know, what they wanted to call a delusional conspiracy theorist. Turns out it was a conspiracy by Waltz and his friends in the Democrat Party, along with the Somali community, to rape the state of Minnesota of billions of dollars. Dollars since the year.

[Host]

2018. Yeah. So while we have a second, before we go to Brick, I want to, for those who haven't seen it and have followed it, I think I mentioned it last week, or we talked about it quickly, that Victor Davis Hansen was undergoing surgery, and we now know why he was going under surgery and it was to remove a cancerous tumor that they found. Condoleezza Rice, his very close friend and the Hoover Institute director and former U.S. secretary of state, actually posted. She said, please find an update from my dear friend Victor Davis Hansen. And. And it reads, I wanted to share a brief health update. I recently underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor, and I am now recovering. I'm doing well and hopeful as I move forward. Thank you for the many messages and support and prayers. They truly mean more than I can say as I focus on recovery. Recovery. I may not be able to respond to everyone, but please know how grateful I am. I don't want to talk about my own problems, but I've had people call me and say, you don't look well. You're hoarse, you're coughing. And I guess that was what led them to take a look and get a biopsy. And then obviously, that led to the surgery. So it sounds like, at least on this first step, Mr. Davis Hansen is doing well and will continue to pray for him. He's been on this show, and he is one of the. The great thought leaders and brilliant minds we have, and we will continue to hope that his health continues to improve. All right, live from Studio 6B. More to do. We're back right after.

[Paul Nolan]

This. All.

[Host]

[Damon]

On? Well, an NFL big D today is referred to as Black Monday with the coaching situation Stefanski, Carol and Gannon fired on NFL Black Monday Monday. This is the TMZ staff reporting those cracker Jacks. NFL Black Monday is here and the coaches are dropping like flies. The Cleveland Browns are cleaning house on their sidelines once again electing to fire two time NFL Coach of the Year Kevin Stefanski after finishing 5:12 in 2025. The orange and Brown made the news official minutes ago. Well, earlier today saying Andrew Berry will keep his job as general manager and the team will lean on him to find the next coach. The Browns have had 10 head coaches since returning to the NFL. But ultimately, ultimately they, they felt Stefanski wasn't their guy. Most of the league feels differently. But anyway, the Las Vegas Raiders also moved on from Pete Carroll. Poor Pete. One year they threw him out. You know, the scapegoat for obviously what's going on over there. Well, you.

[Host]

Know. Come on, get.

[Damon]

Out. Yeah, he's.

[Host]

Out. Let's get Gruden back.

[Damon]

In. I think he's going to be the offensive coordinator for the jets this year. The Silver and Black went just 3 and 14 in 2025. Aaron will take him. You see. Well, we got Tom Brady is now in owner in a.

[Host]

Team. So you got to watch your shirt right there. Inspire Change. Yeah. Guess what? You.

[Damon]

Did. And the Arizona Cardinals, who really had a hell of a year, they just announced Jonathan Gannon is out of a job after going 15 and 36 in three seasons. And more names could join Stefanski, Gannon and Carroll as the day goes on. And obviously there'll be more updates throughout the week, but teams are making changes. Big D. And, well, here's another real bashing of stupidity, if you.

[Host]

Will. Gruden's got to get a job.

[Damon]

Right? You know, I don't know why they.

[Host]

Haven'T.

[Damon]

Right? I mean, yeah, somebody's got to pick him up. He's.

[Paul Nolan]

Brilliant. Blacklisted forever.

[Host]

Though. You.

[Paul Nolan]

Think? I think so. Didn't he use the. Some real spicy language that people. They'll never.

[Damon]

Forget. We live in a country that forgives and.

[Host]

Forget. Well, I think he's going back to the.

[Damon]

Raiders. Do you think.

[Host]

So? That's my pick.

[Damon]

Yeah. I don't know. I. I'm not sure. I'm really not sure. But we will see. But Cardi B passionately defends Diggs, that chef's lion. You heard about the story. I told you this last.

[Host]

Week. Cardi B.

[Damon]

Okay. Yeah. This is TMZ as.

[Paul Nolan]

Well. Who's.

[Damon]

That? Well, Cardi B, that's Stefan Diggs girlfriend. Scotty B has deleted her post, although it's unclear why. She decided to scrub it from her account. But Cardi B's proving she's a ride or die for her man. Vehemently defending Stefan Diggs as he faces serious.

[Paul Nolan]

Charges. What? This? The girl got.

[Damon]

Choked? No, no, this is. Well, this.

[Paul Nolan]

Is. That.

[Damon]

Was. The chef got choked. This is his girlfriend now. Cardi B is Stefan Diggs girl. Stefan Diggs did Chok choked. Allegedly choked his chef, apparently. Chicken. Anyway, the support came a tense social media exchange on Monday. One user pointed out Dig's charges stemming from allegations made by his ex employee who claimed they choked and slapped her over a salary dispute in early December. Cardi was having none of it. Clapping, clapping back and making it clear she won't tolerate any negative talk directed at Diggs because she claims she has all the proof she needs to believe the chef is lying through her teeth. Not once has that woman said anything to me about being touched. Not once. Guardi said Onx while also posting a screenshot of a text she claims is from the chef. But the full context of the exchange is unclear. I'm so sorry I can't talk to you. I didn't say that, especially in the way it was written. Please contact my mediator and she will answer anything you need to know. Lynette. So this woman's going back and forth on our story. Stefan Diggs, obviously. New England Patriots, they have a big game this weekend and allegedly his, his chef is saying that he choked her and slapped her. And we'll see where this goes. It's not the first time we've heard this nonsense in the NFL, but we'll see what happens. And obviously New England's got a lot at stake. They're probably the odds on favorite to win the AFC championship this year with the record that they've had in being one of the best teams in the league with the number one seed. Correct. And that's a rapid sports. Big D. Back to.

[Host]

You. All right, slick. Very good. We'll do some more sports. Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell, LFS xp. It's the promo code to use. Paul Nolan's got some news about our guy Pete Hegseth. And we've, we've said all along the reason this such a stink was raised when President Trump put him up is because, well, I think a lot, a lot of people viewed him as maybe the most dangerous to the left.

[Paul Nolan]

Why? Because he's a.

[Host]

Fighter. Yeah, for many reasons. And what's the news today.

[Paul Nolan]

Paul? Well, he, he addressed the military. He had, you know, he basically he delivered a speech at the, you know, about rebuilding the arsenal of freedom at the Reagan National Defense Forum in California on Saturday. He was pumping the boys tires and he was, you know what, let him speak for himself. He's so good at the pulpit. Go, go get him.

[Damon]

Pete. Be proud of what you do here. Be proud of the incredible vessels.

[Host]

That you bring to.

[Damon]

Life. They are the guarantee of freedom.

[Host]

The guardians of our people.

[Damon]

Peace. A message to the entire world that you should never ever bet against America. And know that we have your back as you move faster on time and on budget, investing in your plants and in your people. We have a lot left to.

[Host]

Accomplish on behalf of the warfighters and.

[Damon]

We look forward to continuing to do it in the honor of a.

[Host]

Lifetime. I serve to.

[Damon]

Serve. My job is to make your job.

[Host]

Easier. That's why our ears to the ground everywhere we.

[Damon]

Go. What can we do to make you more useful in how you operate? Because together we will rebuild our.

[Host]

Military. We will restore our industrial might.

[Damon]

And secure peace for generations to.

[Host]

Come. We will build the arsenal of.

[Damon]

Freedom. God bless you, God bless our Navy and God bless our great.

[Paul Nolan]

Republic. You know, he said something else in there. He knocked the daylight. He pumped Up Trump. But he knocked Biden him and he just said, you know, an administration that cared more about woke this weakness and war than it cared about Americans and the, and the army itself, you know, the morale is through the roof. You said it in the first word was the last time you felt really proud to be an American. I mean to me I am against those forever wars. I am against, you know, wars that are simply about corporate sponsored, you know, money making machines. This was a strategic masterpiece. And I don't care who says what this, this is the, this was a great move for this.

[Host]

Country. Hexa takes a lot of guff, takes a lot of grief because the, the know it alls. The elites on the left in the media specifically try to refer to him as somehow it's amateur hour because he likes to say things like he, he effed around and then he found out, as if you're not allowed to say that if you're, if you're Pete Hegseth and you're the Secretary of War, I guess he's supposed to come out out and wear nine masks. I guess that makes you look strong too. Like the last guy did you know the guy who runs that outfit over there who's got a 10 masks on and he's got a shield coming.

[Rick Delgado]

Down, maybe like a.

[Host]

Hijab. That's like, that's okay. No one, no one says anything like.

[Paul Nolan]

That. But maybe I should dance around on a stage with Somalis doing disco dancing to make himself look like a real.

[Host]

Leader. Pete Hex says he effed around and found out and everybody says, oh, it's amateur hour. Listen to the way this guy talks. He talks about like a wannabe TV host still. And that's just nonsense. This is a guy who's seen guy who's seen the worst of the worst was over there who did this. He was in these guys shoes. He knows exactly what he's talking about. So no, Hexeth. Hexeth is great. He's great country. It's clear. It oozes out of him in every way. And the elitists want to pwn it off as somehow it's like corny or something. And, and it's just they hate.

[Paul Nolan]

Him because honestly he looks great in the part. He's a masculine legit badass. I mean this guy's a legit guy, smart. He, he can run the, you know, he could run the sales pitch. He could message it perfectly. I don't know man. I think they're just jealous. They don't have a guy as good as him on their.

[Rick Delgado]

Team. Yeah. And of course, the advocating he did, you know, for the veterans all those.

[Paul Nolan]

Years.

[Rick Delgado]

Absolutely. So, you know, now being able to say, hey, having a bigger your say as to how things are going to go to make sure these guys are protected so they don't end up like he had seen, you know, how, how, how some of these guys have been treated once they got back here, not having the services that they needed, making sure that they don't end up like that in the first place. That's, that's a great thing for him to do and a great position for him to be in, you know, saying, I've seen my brother and, and, and what they've had to go through. Let's get you prepared and have you, you know, with what you need so you don't have to end up like.

[Paul Nolan]

This. He went to West Point and somewhere else special. He went to West Point somewhere else that was high level, like, not anyone can get into. He served in the military. He's still a great athlete. Where he still runs his, like, you know, try. He has TV experience and he looks the part. What could you complain about for this guy? I mean, he checks every box. If you want to, you know, promote the department of war, he's cool. I mean, I don't, I don't get it. The guys respect them. You look at his clip that Damon has. These guys look at him with, you know, what reverence. They, they hang on to every word he says because he knows he lived.

[Host]

It. Here's a little more from Hexeth addressing the operation to capture Maduro to some of the troops he spoke to in the US Navy. Listen to.

[Damon]

This. Nicholas Maduro got to meet some great Americans for a night vision goggles three nights.

[Host]

Ago. He didn't know they were coming till three minutes before they.

[Damon]

Arrived.

[Paul Nolan]

Wow. In fact, his wife said, I.

[Damon]

Think I hear aircraft.

[Host]

Outside. They didn't know. You know why? Because every single part of that.

[Rick Delgado]

Chain did their job and they did it.

[Host]

Flawlessly. The wife said, I think I hear, I think I hear an airplane outside. Oh, yes, you do, sweetheart. It's time to.

[Rick Delgado]

Go. Yeah. From what I understand, he was, they were, him and his wife. Maduro and his wife were just about a minute away from getting to their, their, their, I guess, steel safe room. Steel safe.

[Host]

Room. Yeah. Which Trump said was not going to be too.

[Damon]

Safe. I said, we brought, we brought high power, 46 seconds, high Tor powered.

[Host]

Torches. Yet you were. That was not going to, I think that was not going to Save them. By the way, speaking of this whole thing, did you see Mondami the next day in New York trying to act like he's the Secretary of State? By the way. Yeah, I spoke to the president. I voiced my. Who cares.

[Rick Delgado]

Dude? My.

[Host]

Concerns. Go worry about the MTA or.

[Damon]

Something. Go run your city into the.

[Host]

Ground. You like. You like the Parks and Rec TV show or something? Go play who gives a crap what you think of what they're doing. Shut.

[Paul Nolan]

Up. Business.

[Host]

Voice. My concern. Oh, really? See, this is the problem with that trip to the White House. They think these. I don't know what he.

[Paul Nolan]

Thinks.

[Host]

Colleagues. Yeah. Correspondent, My concern. Oh, okay.

[Paul Nolan]

Thanks. Yo, Don, take it under advice as mayor of New York, I want you to run things through my.

[Host]

Office. Yeah, right. What are you, the Secretary of State? I don't think so. Shut up. All right, what are we doing here? Oh, actually, this story. Delgado, I saw this story today. I know why. Well, we don't have time now. We'll get into when we get back. I feel like this story should be getting more traction, and Hilton should be taking more of a beating than they've taken today that I've.

[Rick Delgado]

Seen. I think they've been taking quite a beating. Yeah, we'll. We'll get into it when we get.

[Host]

Back. Oh, okay, good. That's good to hear, because I haven't seen anything other than the original story. All right, we'll get into that. Plus we'll wrap it up. Sports news. A little more from everybody on a Monday. Live from Studio 6.

[Paul Nolan]

Big Ram.

[Host]

Sam, Thirteenth to the hour. Live from Studio 6B on a Monday night. One more to go before we wrap it up. So we'll try to get to everybody here. We'll start. Start with. Well, I'll start with you, Paul Nolan, because I know Mark Kelly's out today. He's still. What's going on with.

[Paul Nolan]

Him? Well, while we're on the Hegseth bandwagon, Mark Kelly, he hit back at the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, after, you know, he announced an administrative action to downgrade Kelly's retirement pension over the senator's participation in a video he called Seditious late last year. We all know Mark Kelly, part of the Seditious Six, and a bunch of Democratic lawmakers. In a video, they were urging military to ignore illegal orders from the president. Hexcept on Monday announced that the department would downgrade his retirement grade and consequently his pension, to which we saw Kelly kind of respond. He said Hecced wants to send the message to every single retired service member, if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn't like, they will come after them the same way. It's outrageous and it's wrong. There's nothing more un American than that. Which once again, he's straw manning and lying to frame it, that picture of.

[Host]

Him. What about the other five, by the way? I mean, I'm fine with Kelly, whatever that happens to him because he's a big part of this. But what about the other five? Didn't they all serve in some. In some.

[Rick Delgado]

Capacity? I think three of them did, but in different.

[Paul Nolan]

Different. One was a full blown.

[Rick Delgado]

CIA. Yeah, one was CIA.

[Host]

Agent. Why is Kelly seemingly grabbing all of the headlines from the six of.

[Paul Nolan]

Them? Well, because he won't stop. Every single day. He, he's grandstanding about how, you know, how bad President Trump is and how great of an American he is, and he gets ratioed all day, every day. So, you know, maybe that's why he's the most vocal of all of.

[Host]

Them. Okay. I don't know. It's called seditious six for a.

[Paul Nolan]

Reason. I think the other guys just don't have the clout he has. Has. Well, they're smart enough to keep their mouth.

[Host]

Shut. Well, we'll see what happens there. They, they can't get, they shouldn't get away with what they did. I mean, it's absolutely.

[Paul Nolan]

Outrageous. It's so bad. When this first happened, I wanted to, you know, I, I had lost it. You simply, you just show the entire world that we're weak and unaligned. And to me, that's how you get a color revolution. That's how you get, you know, the destruction of, of a nation by people like that, subverting the power and the chain of command. It just can't.

[Host]

Happen. And by the way, when you look at President Trump and what he did with Iran and what he did now here, and you juxtapose that against what Biden did in Afghanistan. I mean, well, what commander in chief here are we.

[Paul Nolan]

Questioning? How about Obama? People don't talk about it, but he killed more innocent women, children and non combatants than any president ever. And, you know, no one talked about his death to. He got a, you know, he got a Nobel Peace Prize and he was the drone killer from, from outer space. He didn't. Yeah, and he never called for Congress. He did whatever he want. They did. How many regime changes between him and Killery in the, in the State Department. It's a.

[Rick Delgado]

Joke. And with Libya, he was, he was denied by the Congress, you know, didn't matter. The power to go do what he ended up doing.

[Paul Nolan]

Anyway.

[Rick Delgado]

Yep. And nobody said boo.

[Host]

Afterwards. Nope. All right, slick, give me a little rundown. Last sports here for the night. What's going.

[Damon]

On? Okay, well, Martina Navratilova, she hopes that International Criminal Court will sanction USA over.

[Host]

Venezuela. Actually, thank God she's.

[Damon]

Weighing. Thank God she's still.

[Host]

There. I swear, I was thinking this morning, I wonder what Martina Navratilova thinks about.

[Damon]

This. Well, I'm going to go through this real quick anyway. This will be a quick two set match here. Tennis great and left winger Martina Navratillova is urging the International Criminal Court to sanction the USA in the wake of President Donald Trump's daring successful arrest. Yep. At first, Navatilova offered the short endorsement of Lovett for a message posted on Saturday on X calling for sanctions against American companies taking oil from Venezuela. Navitilova followed that up by accusing the US of pillaging Venezuela's national natural resources, holding a country hostage while pillaging its natural resources. Next stop, either Greenland or Nigeria. She wrote not long afterward. And obviously goes on to describe what President Trump did. But yeah, like I said, Martina Navratila weighing in from the sports world. Big D. What could I tell you? And here's a story I want to wrap up with the sports that I always love. Fans unleash 81,000 stuffed animals in beloved hockey tradition. All for a good cause. Mark Harris of Outkick. The Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League hosted their annual Teddy Bear toss over the weekend. And as it does every year, year after year, it delivered. The Bears, which serve as the Washington Capitals AHL affiliate, have hosted the Teddy Bear Toss since 2001, asking fans to bring in new stuff to animal to the game and toss them onto the ice after the team scores his first goal. Well, cut four, Aaron, show how this turned.

[Host]

Out. Zero.

[Damon]

Zero. Less than three minutes in the Hershey Bears.

[Paul Nolan]

Shot. Let's.

[Damon]

Go. Well, they proceeded to throw 81,000 teddy bears onto the court. Onto the outbreak, I should say. Unbelievable.

[Paul Nolan]

Right? It's a great.

[Damon]

Tradition. Is that amazing every yet? I know that I run this every, every year, but I just can't help it. I think it's just one of.

[Paul Nolan]

The greatest things in.

[Damon]

Sports. And obviously these will get donated to children who, you know, obviously needed kids, I think. Look at.

[Paul Nolan]

This. I mean, only half of them have been dunked in.

[Damon]

Beer. Yeah. At one point the ref said it became unbearable. And that's a rapping sports big thing. Back to.

[Host]

You. All right, slick. Very good Sports is brought to you By Mike Lindell, LFS 6 piece promo code to use. Rick Delgado, take us home. What else is in the headlines.

[Rick Delgado]

Today? All right. Unfortunately I don't have a criminal hiding in the nativity scene, Damon for you. But I have something else. Homeland Security has declared war on Hilton Hotels over claims it's canceling their officers reservations. Believe it or not, Homeland Security posted this on their X account. It says no room at the end. Hilton Hotels has launched a coordinated campaign in Minneapolis to refuse service to DHS law enforcement. Law enforcement went on. Officers attempted to book rooms using official government emails and rates. Hilton Hotels maliciously canceled their reservations. This is unacceptable. Why is Hilton Hotels siding with murderers and rapists to deliberately undermine and impede DHS law enforcement from their mission to enforce our nation's immigration laws? That was posted again on the Homeland Security DHS Gov X account. That message did not go unheeded, Damon, as people started basically attacking, giving, giving the Hilton Hotels the Bud Light treatment as they are now changing their tune late this afternoon. Hilton Hotels behind the DHS room cancellations has apologized. Yes. In a late afternoon expose on Monday, Hilton Hotels announced that the hotel accused of denying rooms to DHS officers is independently owned, nothing to do with us and has apologized for the actions of their team. They posted in the follow up the hotel has taken. The hotel chain has taken immediate action to resolve the matter. Hilton's position is clear. Our properties are open to everyone and we do not tolerate any form of discrimination. And Hilton has conceded another headline out of Breitbart. They're going to welcome. Now they're welcoming DHS agents. Ever Peak Hospitality who owns the Hamptons Inn in Lakeville, Minneap issued a statement on their website that they moved swiftly to address the matter and it was inconsistent with their policy of being a welcoming place for all. So there you have.

[Host]

It. I'm not buying any of it. No, I know you said backtracking because they damn well got.

[Rick Delgado]

Caught. Oh, they got.

[Host]

Busted. That was the only reason they're.

[Damon]

Backtracking. They won't be on the AMAC preferred hotel listing, that's for.

[Rick Delgado]

Sure. And the backlash across social media has been huge. Huge with I've seen this thing being posted all day pointing out the various brands operated by Hilton which include the Waldorf, Hilton Hotels, Hilton Garden, Speak, Hampton Inns, Homewood Suites, you name it. They own a bunch of these.

[Host]

Hotels. Not the Four Seasons, I.

[Rick Delgado]

Hope. And they are all now scrambling another.

[Host]

Bogata. They don't own any of the casino hotels, do.

[Rick Delgado]

They? So you've got, you've got people across the board and what'd you.

[Host]

Say? Do they own any of the hotel casino.

[Rick Delgado]

Hotels? I don't know. Okay, they.

[Host]

Might. I want to stay in a Hilton ever again, but I, I, no, I have a problem. If there was the Four Seasons. Well, let's.

[Rick Delgado]

See. Do they, do they have any, do they have any gambling going on at NBC.

[Damon]

Suites? They probably got a dice game.

[Rick Delgado]

In the lobby at the Double.

[Host]

Tree. No.

[Rick Delgado]

No.
